“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog, Jordan, received. Bridget was outstanding—her communication was prompt and clear, and her home was clean. It was evident that she takes great pride in providing a safe, clean, and loving environment. It was nice she had her own dog kennels too so I didn’t have to bring mine. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“I went into Jacquelines house and just got the best vibe. I felt totally comfortable leaving my baby with her and her family! Which is such a huge relief because that always has not been the case with other places!! I was sent pictures of my boy having a great vacation while I was on mine! I would totally recommend!”

“Kristy and her family were awesome! My two pups were very well socialized with all of her pets, even my anxious girl became comfortable and seemed to enjoy her stay.

She gave me lots of updates and photos to put my mind at ease!”

“Nicole is hands-down the best dog sitter on Rover! She took amazing care of Freddy and Barney — they got to play with her dogs Gracie and Jac and had an absolute blast. Her home is warm, loving, and the perfect environment for any pup. She sent regular updates and tons of photos, which made being away so much easier. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats every dog like her own. Highly, highly recommend Nicole. Your pets will be in the best possible hands! 🐾”
“From the moment I met Brittney and Max I felt very comfortable having them watch Seamus. Their dog and kids were perfect companions for him and guaranteed he’d get plenty of love and affection. I also received plenty of pictures from Brittney which put me at ease and was a nice touch when I was missing him. He got plenty of time outdoors, cuddles, and play time. I will definitely be using this family in the future.”
“Damonte is incredibly kind, reliable, and generous with Kuba and Ashanti. He always keeps us informed by sending updates and videos, which gives us great peace of mind while we’re away. Our dogs absolutely love him and treat him like family. We are so grateful for the care and attention he provides, and he will always be our go-to pet care provider. Thank you, Damonte, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family members! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!”
“Upon the first conversation and meeting, she made us feel comfortable and we knew our fur baby would be safe and well cared for. Being out of the country for 3 weeks, we needed no worries and Saige delivered! When we picked up Mali, she looked happy and loved. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”

“It was great to be able to take a vacation and not worry about our beloved furball kitty. Tiffany was able to get a very timid Bella to let her pet and play with her, which is unusual. Tiffany also did a few other jobs for me which was so appreciated. I will definitely book her again for our next adventure...thanks Tiffany!!”

“Anthony took incredible care of our cats and our home while we were away. He went above and beyond in every possible way — keeping everything clean, making sure the cats were happy and comfortable, and even taking care of thoughtful extra details around the house. It was obvious how much he genuinely cared for Rogelio and Octavio, and we were able to fully relax on our trip because of it. We came home to very happy cats and a spotless home. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust him again in the future!”

“Kate is a Superhero sitter! My sweet Adele decided to be an escape artist and hide in the basement on day 2. Kate remained calm and professional and contacted me right away. I really appreciated her attentiveness to my sneaky kitty. She continued to feed Adele, watch for bm's and kept me updated. Great communication throughout the visits. It made me feel at ease and that Adele was well cared for while I was away. Thanks Kate. Your work is important and much appreciated. I highly recommend you!”

About: I've had hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats for many years and truly love spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it's feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, administering basic care, or simply giving them plenty of attention and affection, I'm committed to treating every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: Hello fellow cat lovers, First let’s be real, when you have a cat, you don’t own them, you are their servant. My four cats remind me everyday. As soon as 5:30 am hits, they all let me know it’s feeding time. As soon as I walk through the door. I have 4 seconds to drop my stuff and feed them, or I will be yelled at. I can’t afford another negative yelp review for taking more than 4 seconds. But jokes aside I care deeply about the well being of my cats. I’m checking teeth, their coats, paw pads, check for any changes in poops, or behavior. My cats eat a well balanced diet and have different dietary needs. I also take care of one community cat. She comes and sleeps on my back deck, brings me dead mice (my favorite) and always wants to be pet. That is my everyday with cats and I love every minute of it. I would love to get to know your cats and gain their trust!
“Gabrielle went above and beyond to make sure that my three cats were happy and comfortable while I was gone. I will definitely call on her again to care for my furry family.”
About: I’ve done overnight pet and house sitting for several years and different clients, as well as drop/in visits to feed, care, and keep pets company while owners are away. I work a full time day job during the week and am free most evenings and weekends. I work my day job the first Saturday of every month. I have a fenced in yard and have experience with crated and non-crated situations. The physical and emotional wellbeing of your pet is of the utmost importance.
About: I've worked in animal rescue for many years and fostered both cats and dogs for over 15. So even the spicy ones I adore and they seem to connect with me as well. I am comfortable giving meds, doing brushing/nail trims for those that will cooperate, and giving them lots of love and attention! For work, I set my schedule for the most part, so I am very flexible and can come by in the daytime and or evenings. Very adaptable and willing to work out a schedule that works for you!
About: Experience caring for all creatures from livestock to small animals. I love all animals, and I am happy to make their routine as normal as possible while you are away. I love to walk and play outside as well as stay in and snuggle on the couch. What ever your pets need, we can make it work! I am used to following detailed plans, routines and instructions to make sure your absence is as easy as possible for your fur kids! I am more than happy to send updates and photos as often as you would like, I know how great it can be to see them when you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your companions! I am currently working remote Tuesday through Friday and have the ability to complete dog-walks or drop in visits for all species during those days. I always strive to make pets feel as comfortable as possible during our interactions, and stick to their routines as much as possible. From crate training to play time my goal is to have pets enjoy their time spent with me.
About: I've grew up with cats when I was a kid, and currently have one male tabby! I have pet sit cats before and scoop boxes on a regular basis (1-2 times a day) and check food and water consistently. I love cats and absolutely love to play with them, but also know how timid some can be to new people and can fully respect their space! I will love your cats like they are my own babies and make sure they are well loved and comfortable while you're gone :)
“She and her kids had a great time with our fur baby cat! She pet her brushed her and just kept her a happy camper. When she came over and met her she was amazed how docile she was with people. I would definetely hire her again. She seems like a great sitter. She sent us lots of pics of Pretty too.”

“Dash has been going to Kathleen for a week now & he loves her! She is very responsive, and very sweet. She sends me pics throughout the day, and I love that she takes him out for walks and play time. We will continue to book with her 😊”
“My two small Chihuahua mixes absolutely love their time at Mike and Sharon's! We use them mainly for daycare and they usually always have a couple small puppy friends there, so they are exhausted and sleep all night when they get home! We have used them for boarding too and have nothing but praise. If you need a sitter or lower stimulation doggy daycare, Sharon's your girl!”

“Got it! Here's the updated version: It was our dog's first time staying in another place, and he's usually a bit anxious. But he had a really good time with Stevie and came back tired and happy. We're very grateful!”
“Aside from being great with our dogs, I have to compliment Grant on his communication. He responded to all of my messages promptly and professionally and kept me in the loop during my 2 dogs stay. It really helped put me at ease about their first stay. My dogs came home calm and tired which tells me they had a great fun time with him. Thanks, Grant!”

About: I recently retired from the Navy and now live with my wife on 9 peaceful acres, just about a mile and a half off Highway 50 near Powell Gardens. It’s just the two of us here—no kids, no pets at the moment, aside from two laid-back turtles. We’ve had dogs in the past and loved every minute, but after moving frequently, we decided to hold off for now. That said, we’d love to show care and attention to your dog as if they were our own. Since I’m fully retired, I’m home throughout the day. I usually go for a daily walk for exercise, which works perfectly if your pup enjoys a good stroll. Our ranch-style home has pet-friendly vinyl floors and tons of open space to explore. While we don’t have a fenced yard, there’s plenty of room to roam—just let me know if your dog needs to stay on a leash and I’ll make sure to accommodate that. A Quick Note About Your Dog Please feel free to share any special needs, preferences, or routines your dog might have. And of course, if you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m genuinely excited to meet your doggo! I am fully retired so I can be home all day. Typically, I exercise with a walk so that would work with the dog as well. I have a large ranch style home with pet friendly vinyl floors. In plenty of land for dogs to run around I do not have a fenced in area so if your dog needs to be on a leash that is fine I just need to know.
“Naji watched our 3yr old weimeraner for an evening while we went to a wedding. She let us bring him over the day before for a ‘meet and greet’ with her dogs which was so helpful for us to see how they would interact. I also appreciated that she sent a few photos while we were gone. ☺️”

Some call me a "cat whisperer" and dogs love me too. 🐾 I am energetic and fun, love going for walks and hikes and playing fetch. We have a dog at home - Jack, a pit-lab mix, who gets along with other dogs and 3 children ages 3-13, so friendly and social dogs only please. I'm a stay at home mom with plenty of time for walks and playdates. Most days work just fine for me for walks and boarding. I have a fenced in yard with ample space to play. I have 1 dog and 3 animal-loving children, so your doggo won't ever feel lonely. I love to give treats, go on walks and play. Comfortable crating.
About: Pets have been a part of my life my whole life. I've owned everything from dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and ferrets. In high school I spent all my extra time volunteering at Kansas City Ferret Rescue. We even ran some of the shelter out of our house for a while. Currently I own 2 pit bulls and boy do I love my bully breeds. I have Marvel who is 11 and hes my gentle giant. We adopted his mother and had her her whole life and kept him from a litter of puppies she had. We've been together since birth. I also have Alice and she is getting ready to turn 5, we adopted her at 8 weeks old from a neighbor. She's super energetic. I have LOTS of training in taking care of puppies. I also own a 13 year old black Maine coon cat. I adopted him from wayside waifs when he was a tiny 8 week old kitten. My pets are very loved and yours will be also! We will have lots of fun playing with toys, going on walks and all the belly rubs. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to spend with your babies while your away. There will be no hurry in my visits. I currently walk my dogs everyday. They are fed twice a day, morning and evening. We also play ball and Frisbee in our backyard. I will try to keep your pets schedule as close as I can to their current schedule with you.
About: I’ve owned 3 dogs over the years. My oldest dog is 14 years old and has some health issues so I am very familiar with all the healthcare requirements. We recently got a puppy as well so I’m very familiar with young pups as well! I currently work from home so I’m very flexible in being able to do daily walks, overnight stays, and daily check ins. I regularly go for walks with my dog and would love to add to my routine! My oldest dog is a grumpy old man so he’s pretty easy to work with. I love to spoil my dogs with treats but enjoy taking them out for walks and making sure they get their daily exercise too. I’m a huge animal lover!
About: I have a love for all animals and I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve also had fish and hamsters. I’m open to learning more. I’m interested in pet care full-time or part-time. I would love to care for pets from a nice, COVID-safe and comfortable household. I’m able to take on more than one job without conflicting schedules. In my home, I have 4 cats of varying ages. They are 7 and up, all the way to 14. The older cats do not require medicine but do not have bladder control. I have one dog that I take for walks and let out in my backyard.
“Mackenzie is one of pepper’s favorite people and for good reason. She is so thoughtful by bringing food treats and water and making sure she has plenty of time to smell around and also get some miles in.”
About: I’m extremely patient and caring with each dog or other pets I take care of. I’ve helped friends & family over the years with their own! Pets are an important part of the family and should be treated as such. I work part time currently so my schedule is very flexible and negotiable to spend time with your pets. I make sure to prioritize care so you can rest assured your pups are getting all the love and care they need! I always talk with whoever pets I’m taking care of about their routines at home and what is the environment their most comfortable with. Even with fenced in yards I’ll stand outside and make sure everything is ok while also giving dogs company.
About: I have been taking care of dogs/cats for families/ people for about 6 years!! Looking to meet and take care of some new furry friends!! I work a full-time job currently. I would be able to take of your animals on the weekends if you are going a vacation or just need some time away from the house!! I have grown up with animals my whole life so making sure that they are well taken care of is number one priority! Also building trust with a new animal is important too!
About: Experience caring for all creatures from livestock to small animals. I love all animals, and I am happy to make their routine as normal as possible while you are away. I love to walk and play outside as well as stay in and snuggle on the couch. What ever your pets need, we can make it work! I am used to following detailed plans, routines and instructions to make sure your absence is as easy as possible for your fur kids! I am more than happy to send updates and photos as often as you would like, I know how great it can be to see them when you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your companions! I am currently working remote Tuesday through Friday and have the ability to complete dog-walks or drop in visits for all species during those days. I always strive to make pets feel as comfortable as possible during our interactions, and stick to their routines as much as possible. From crate training to play time my goal is to have pets enjoy their time spent with me.

Her home is warm, loving, and the perfect environment for any pup. She sent regular updates and tons of photos, which made being away so much easier. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats every dog like her own. Highly, highly recommend Nicole. Your pets will be in the best possible hands! 🐾”

Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so it doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I intentionally build into my schedule to make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I care for pets as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their individual routines, personalities, and needs, whether they’re in my home or a client’s home. This includes making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of affection and attention. I love animals, so I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and I follow any specific instructions the owner provides to ensure their pet feels happy and well cared for while they’re away.

“Lindsey was a fantastic sitter for my baby. She sent a ton of updates and pictures so I knew Juno was having a great time and adapting to her stay well.

Juno can have a difficult time eating when she is away from home but Lindsey took the time to hand feed her. I would definitely use her again!”
“Hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever used, five stars, ten out of ten. She kept my little baby happy and spoiled while I was gone, sent adorable photo updates every single day without me even asking, and everything felt so easy and stress-free. Seriously, if you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your cat like it’s her own, she’s the one. Book her now, you won’t regret it!!!”

My dog Rocco obviously enjoyed his time with Olga. She sent updates during his stay along with photos of Rocco playing in their very spacious fenced yard. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Olga for your pet needs.”
