“I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with Ashley and her family overnight. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day to let me see he was having a great time. And he came back super tired from playing with all his friends! We will definitely use Ashley again.”
“Since this was the first time leaving our 3 year old Shihpoo I was very nervous, but Dave and his wife Cindy were great! Tanner seemed right at home with them and they really took wonderful care of him. They kept us updated with photos and texts, which made me less worried on our trip. We now have a safe and fun environment for Tanner whenever we need to leave him❤.”
“Rachell took care of my dog like he was one of her own! He was able to get all the socialization, playtime, and cuddles that he needs. Rachell sent me pictures and kept me updated on my dog so I never once worried.”
“Jade was a very great fit to watch and take care of Dozer! She kept me up dated and sent me pictures of him! I will definitely recommend her and use her again if I go on! Dozer is very happy and sleepy after his couple night stay with her!”
“Karissa was A+++ for my dogs when we left them to stay with her for a week. She sent us photos every day and they were obviously happy in her big yard and staying active. She will be my first choice for a sitter the next time I am out of town. Thanks!”
“Ashley wasted out Shepsky while we were on a float trip. She sent pictures. Jersey made herself right at home next to the chair. Her children played with her. Will definitely book her again.”
“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Davey has been excellent with Clifford! He's been a lifesaver for me while I'm going through a difficulty and am needing some last-minute dog boarding. Clifford is excited when he gets to go back and seems to be very well taken of! I would definitely recommend Davey to my friends/family!!”
“Laura was beyond excellent! Caring and attentive towards every detail I gave her regarding my dog's care, on top of which she sent me regular updates and pictures, and even got him extra treats and toys to make his stay more enjoyable! I will 100% be using her again.”
“Sarah seems to really care and it's obvious, my furry kid had a great time and was very loved. I would highly recommend her and will certainly use her services again in the future.”
About: My husband and I will be working together to host doggy day care and boarding. With both of our schedules we will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Hi, I’m Bree! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and for the past 8 years I’ve worked professionally caring for them in many different settings. I spent 5 years working as a veterinary technician, giving me experience with medications, animal behavior, emergency situations, and CPR. I’ve worked with small animals, exotics, wildlife, and large animals, and I’ve also fostered countless puppies and kittens over the years. Because of my background, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs — whether that means an energetic puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior pet needing extra attention. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, loved, and cared for like family while they’re away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your animals, and I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I meet. I love to hear about owners caretaking strategies so that I’m able to duplicate those qualities! We want to make your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away.
“Samantha was terrific!! With relatively little notice she's was able to watch our baby girl Lizzie. We got pictures of her playing and having a great stay while on our vacation. Would not hesitate to have her take care of our fur baby again.”
About: I will care for your pets as if they were my own and give them all the love and attention they could ever want! I am trustworthy and dependable. I currently work part time as a nanny so I have plenty of availability to take care of your pets! I currently work 3 days a week, 7-8 hours a day at my nanny job. I always make sure that pets are in a safe environment. While we're out on a walk they will always be leashed so there's no worry of them running away or anything of that sort. I always respect the wishes of the owner and take the safety of animals very seriously.
About: Honestly I love taking care of animals. I have a few of my own. Salem (cat) and Oscar (pup) Salem is very laid back and so friendly it’s insane. And Oscar being a puppy loves being around anyone and any pet. I currently work full time M-F but please know I will always make time for your fur babies. I’m usually available after 5pm on weekdays and I’m always available on weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard unfortunately but I do have a big grass area behind my house. We have a dog park we can go to nearby if permitted by owner
“Taryn was very accommodating for my two corgis. I was a little worried at first because one of my dogs can be a little aggressive toward new dogs. Taryn was able to introduce the dogs properly and assured me that she would be able to separate them if there was ever any issues. Everything worked out fine and my boys received all the love and attention they needed.”

About: PET SITTING — In Your Home • Dog sitting • Cat sitting ABOUT ME Hi! I’m Jessica - a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I currently have 1 dog and 3 cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to feel confident when someone else is caring for your pets. My promise is simple: I’ll treat your animals with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I work full‑time Monday–Thursday, but I’m available for morning and evening visits on those days. Weekends are fully open, and I’m happy to customize a schedule that works best for you and your pets. SERVICE AREA Pevely Festus Herculaneum Crystal City (Additional fee applies for locations more than 25 minutes from my home.) CONTACT I work full‑time Monday–Thursday, but I’m available for morning and evening visits on those days. Weekends are fully open, and I’m happy to customize a schedule that works best for you and your pets. In my home we have back yard and lots of down time to cuddle and love on both my dog and cats. I would love on your animals just like my own.
“Barb is the BEST! The cats adored her as did we. Our cat Pepper is pretty spicy, and Barb did so well with her. 💕She went above and beyond for us and our babies; we will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: My current job involves taking care of all types of animals, and I have had many types of pets my whole life. Reptiles, furry friends, small animals, birds, fish, etc. I know basic(and in most cases, more than that) care for majority of pets. Im comfortable with all kinds, furry, or scaly! I have a full time job, and schedule changes every week. Im often working evenings, so mornings are most open for me. Although I am flexible, and able, to move my schedule around. I have reliable transportation, and i'm comfortable coming to your home to care for your pet. I am okay walking, feeding, checking in on, etc., any pets you may have. I love all animals!
“Hire this woman! I needed to find a pet sitter for a week very last minute and I found Brittany. I’ve never left my cat Dutch with anyone so I was definitely stressed. But I knew within minutes of meeting Bri I had chosen the right person. My cat is very shy but she warmed right up to Bri. The pics and vids I got during my time away showed how happy Dutch was with her sitter. I was surprised at how well it went. She was playing and getting brushed and petted and so obviously calm and content even though she was alone for the first time and couldn’t go outside. Bri also did thoughtful things like get my mail and take out my trash. She made me feel comfortable leaving my home as well as my baby cat. She was a great communicator throughout my time away with good updates. She made it much easier to enjoy myself and not worry about my baby. It was obvious Dutch had been well cared for when I got home. She did not seem at all traumatized by being suddenly left alone so long for the first time, with strangers and stuck inside. I think that really speaks to how good Brittany is with animals. Take my advice and save some clicks and choose Brittany. She is sweet and kind with a big heart. She is all the things you want your babies to have. Bri is the next best thing to being there yourself. I highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Alicia is very flexible and professional with us. Alicia communicates with us and we've had all great experiences with her. She is great with the cats. They can be pretty timid, but she is winning them over. I'm overjoyed that we found her on Rover. She's wonderful!”
About: I've taken care of cats since age 10! I love all animals and can care for animals of any age. I can administer medications and clean the litter box if needed. I love to play with animals or just cuddle, whatever the pet prefers!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of personal care, attention, and reliability I bring to every pet I look after. I don’t just “watch” pets — I get to know them, build trust, and treat them like my own. With a background in business management, I’m extremely organized and dependable, so pet parents can always count on clear communication and consistent care. I also have a naturally calm and caring energy that animals respond well to, and I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routines, and quirks. Whether it’s sticking to a medication schedule, keeping pets engaged and active, or simply making them feel safe while their humans are away, I go above and beyond to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. Pet care fits into my daily needs because I already structure my day around caring for my dog. Add I’m very active and being around dogs gives me another reason to enjoy it! I care for my pets by making sure all their physical and emotional needs are met every day. That means sticking to regular feeding schedules, providing fresh water, making time for daily walks or playtime, and ensuring they get plenty of affection and attention. I also pay close attention to their behavior, so I can quickly spot if something seems off — whether it's a change in mood, appetite, or energy level. Beyond the basics, I truly enjoy creating a safe, calm, and happy environment where they feel loved and understood. Every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one feel most comfortable and cared for.
About: I’ve had animals all my life! I worked at petsmart for over four years so I have experience in many different areas. I have a calming spirit that your pup will pick up on and feel at home with me! I’m a teacher, so the summer season is very open for me! I’m reliable and have a great schedule to take care of your furry family member. I want to keep your pup on their regular schedule, as this will make them most comfortable. Please share any specific instructions so I can keep your fur baby comfy and happy!
About: We feel blessed to serve your pet! My teenage daughter and I are a team and have taken care of many different types of dogs and cats (even cows and sheep). We love animals! Our neighbors, friends and family rely on us to drop in on their pets to feed, play and love on them while they are away. We appreciate your business and look forward to meeting your furry family member. ♥️ I work Monday through Friday during the day but am available for early mornings drop-ins and anytime after 3pm during the work week for a drop-in and play. Full flexibility on the weekends. I have experience with giving medication and injections. Our dog requires daily (am and pm doses) apoquel tablets and weekly allergy shots so we are familiar with allergies and giving injections as well. Whether you’re working late or out of town, we can stop by and give your pet some love and care. We will be happy to adapt to your routine and drop-in as requested for feedings, treats, medication, belly rubs and play. We can send you pictures, videos and updates as often as desired.
About: Neighbors friends and families have all relied on me to bath, walk, medicate their babies and I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding resort!

About: I mostly have experience with outside cats that come in during winter (potty breaks outside but right back in). The cats I have had experience with are very chill and love to explore the outdoors. If you have a fancy litter box (more than scoop and trash), you’ll have to show me how it works lol.
About: Honestly I love taking care of animals. I have a few of my own. Salem (cat) and Oscar (pup) Salem is very laid back and so friendly it’s insane. And Oscar being a puppy loves being around anyone and any pet. I currently work full time M-F but please know I will always make time for your fur babies.

About: I have had pets all my life. Cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hampsters.. the list goes on. I was in Human healthcare and found its not much different. I can help with your pet care needs.

I have a fenced in area and a designated space in my house I call the “pet room” . My house resembles someone who has a 2 yr old but instead of kid toys and beds it’s dog and cat toys.

“I am so happy to have found Ashley! I felt/feel confident that Gloria had a fun day with her “friends” while we were out. She came home calm and content after a day of running around like a puppy should. We will be boarding soon as well, and I’m glad to know our puppy is in amazing care while we travel.”
About: I had my own personal dogs for over 20 years in total but do not currently have any pets. As my schedule allows, I help out with short-term fostering for a rescue that I adopted two of my dogs from. All 3 of my dogs ended up with health issues in their old age so I have plenty of experience giving medications, feeding special diets, assisting with mobility issues, etc. Because my boy was dog reactive, I became a master at 'crate/gate/separate' when fostering while he was alive. However, I intend to only sit animals that are from the same home at one time so the animals do not face any restrictions needing to avoid animals they do not live with. I work from home (day job) so I will be around most of the time during the care dates with the exception of any planned events outside of the home (which likely would not be more than a few hours at a time). I have a fenced yard (4 feet) for quick potty breaks (I do not leave dogs unattended in my yard). For walks, I can use a double leash/collar if needed for extra security. I do have a shared fence line with a neighbor dog that is reactive so, when needed, I run a line of chicken wire to keep dogs in my yard from being able to reach that fence. The neighbor’s dog is my primary reason for marking ‘no’ to un-spayed/neutered. I don’t leave any dogs I watch unattended in my back yard but he’s a Cane Corso that’s not neutered and my fence is only 4ft tall so I figured better safe than sorry.
“Haley is wonderful, always giving me details as my little man's anxiety around new people and places lessens every day. As soon as I met her and her children I knew that they'd have a calming influence on him. So glad I found her!!”
About: I bring years of hands-on experience in animal care, including working as a behavior modification dog trainer and spending many years in veterinary medicine. This background allows me to understand not only canine behavior, but also health, safety, and early signs of medical concerns. I’m highly enthusiastic about canine fitness and nutrition, and I tailor care to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog needs structured exercise, calm, attentive care, I provide a safe, knowledgeable, and compassionate experience. Your pet’s well-being—both physical and mental—is always my top priority. I’m home full-time, so boarded dogs receive constant supervision, structure, and individualized care. My days are centered around caring for dogs, which allows me to safely manage multiple boarding dogs with different needs, energy levels, and routines. Each dog receives a balanced routine of exercise, enrichment, and rest in a calm, structured environment. I closely monitor behavior, maintain safe group dynamics, and provide plenty of one-on-one attention to ensure every dog feels secure and comfortable during their stay. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I maintain a structured, calm household designed to meet the needs of a wide range of dogs. I have multiple separate rooms available for dogs who do not do well with other animals, allowing them to relax comfortably without stress. For dogs who enjoy social time, there is plenty of space for safe interaction and movement. I require dogs to be crate trained overnight or reliably potty trained with an established routine, which helps ensure safety, cleanliness, and consistency for everyone in my care. My home includes a secure, fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and play. While structure is an important part of my household, dogs also enjoy playtime, enrichment, and appropriate freedom based on their individual needs and comfort level. With my experience and environment, I provide a safe, attentive, and well-managed space where dogs can feel secure and well cared for.

“Chico, my elderly Chihuahua, went to doggie daycare with Amy in Columbia for a couple of hours while I met friends for lunch. Amy has such a wonderful way with animals; you can tell she really loves watching them. She took lots of photos, have Chico lots of attention and even had a pet guestbook for him to sign. Such a cute idea. If you ever need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Amy.”
About: My wife and I are a dedicated pet-loving team who will treat your pets like family. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, and my wife is a trained veterinarian with over 10 years of experience in Mexico. She’s currently working as a vet tech as she works towards the ECFVG certification which will allow her to practice as a veterinarian here in the U.S., bringing a deep understanding of animal health and behavior to every visit. We currently share our home with 3 dogs, 1 cat, 9 chickens, and 2 turkeys—so we’re no strangers to pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just someone patient and kind, you can trust that they’ll be in safe, experienced hands with us. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have plenty of companionship and care throughout the day. I’m often outside with our own dogs, so your pet will enjoy lots of fresh air, playtime, and supervision. My wife works four days a week but is home in the mornings and afternoons, so between the two of us, someone is almost always around to give your pet the attention they need. Whether your dog loves being active or just relaxing with company, they’ll feel right at home here. Your pet’s safety is our top priority. We have a fenced backyard where smaller dogs can roam safely. For larger dogs, we use a secure tie-out cable system to give them outdoor time while keeping them safely contained. Inside the home, we can easily separate pets if needed—our basement and main living area are fully divided, making it simple to create calm, stress-free environments for each animal. Our chickens and turkeys are kept in a fully enclosed outdoor coop, well away from visiting pets, so there’s no risk of unwanted interactions. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, secure, and attentive environment

“Melissa was phenomenal. She took FENWAY with short notice, so I could take my kids on some adventures on our way thru the city as we drove home from a camping trip. She sent me pictures, and Fenway slept most the way home, so I could tell she had a good time”

“I cannot recommend Bhairavi highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure Oakley felt comfortable, happy, and cared for. I received regular updates with adorable photos and thoughtful notes, which gave me total peace of mind.

About: My entire life I’ve been around animals. My childhood summers were spent on my grandparents farm and joining them at dog shows where they showed the English Bulldogs they bred. Not to mention all the pets I’ve had. Professionally I have worked at doggy daycares and the Humane Society of Missouri. I have a love and passion for all animals but especially dogs. Have a trail or park nearby? Great news, I love taking hikes in nature. Long walks are my specialty. I have a fairly flexible schedule that revolves around my kids. With notice I can usually make additional availability or schedule adjustments. I can work around your schedule. The care I give each pet is unique to each client and animal. I’m comfortable handling dogs on/off leash if trained, crating, feeding, and administering medications as requested by owner.
About: I have a lifelong passion for animal care combined with a professional background in healthcare. Holding active certifications in Basic Life Support (BLS) and medication administration, caregiving is truly second nature to me. At home, my life is happily run by my own diverse fur family: a high-energy 3-year-old German Shepherd, a sweet senior miniature dachshund, and a cat. Living with this wonderful crew means I don't just understand pet care in theory—I live it every day. I know exactly what it takes to securely walk and handle a powerful, large breed; how to gently accommodate the slower pace and fragile back of a senior small dog; and how to respect the independent boundaries of a cat. My goal is to provide total peace of mind for pet parents. Whether your dog needs a brisk midday walk or your cat needs a quiet, comforting drop-in visit, I approach every pet with the same patience, clinical attentiveness, and love that I give to my human patients and my own animals. Because of my formal medical training, I am entirely comfortable, calm, and precise when administering oral medications, managing specific dietary needs, or monitoring senior pets with health or mobility challenges. I pride myself on punctuality, clear communication, and keeping your home exactly as you left it. You'll always get detailed updates and plenty of photos from our visits! As a part-time student, I have plenty of flexibility for daily drop-in care. My weekly routine allows me to easily fit in visits any time on weekends, and on weekdays except I am unavailable on Tuesday and Thursday evenings due to my class schedule. I provide drop-in care exclusively in your home, ensuring your pet's established routine and safety are my absolute priorities. With a professional background in medical care, I am exceptionally observant, detail-oriented, and fully comfortable administering medications or managing specific health routines. I treat your home with complete respect, ensuring a secure, stress-free environment during every visit.
About: Welcome! We are a passionate, animal-loving mother-daughter team ready to give your pets the royal treatment. My lifelong love for animals started with my childhood beagles, followed by a schnauzer, and has grown to include four dogs of my own, a guinea pig, a bearded dragon, and numerous fish! We are starting this venture this summer to help my daughter build her skills and chase her lifelong dream. Ever since she was 4 years old, she has wanted to be a veterinarian—she even has a master plan to build a vet practice and a petting zoo on the exact same property! I love her animal-loving spirit and want to support her dream in every way I can. We work as a dedicated team she will be taking the profits and placing them into her savings account), so rest assured that your fur babies will truly become our fur babies while they are in our care. We can't wait to meet your pets! As a school district employee, I am currently on summer break until August! This means my schedule is wide open, and pet care is my main focus right now. My daughter and I are home almost all day, allowing us to provide frequent potty breaks, constant supervision, and plenty of playtime. Whether your dog needs a structured routine, midday walks, or just lots of couch cuddles and companionship, we have the flexibility to match their exact needs. Once school starts back up in August, we will transition to evening and weekend care, but for the summer, your pup will get our full, undivided attention! Because our own dog prefers to be an 'only child' and a single-sibling fur baby, we exclusively offer care in your home! When you trust us with your pets, my daughter and I will treat your home with the utmost respect, exactly as if it were our own. For House Sitting, we adapt entirely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. This includes their regular feeding schedule, medication administration if needed, and plenty of play and cuddle time. For Drop-In Visits or Walks, we ensure they get plenty of exercise, fresh water, potty breaks, and of course, lots of love. We also always make sure your home is secure before we leave and will send you plenty of photo updates so you can see how much fun we are having!

About: Hello! I'm Karissa, and I've been an animal lover ever since I was a little girl. Growing up, my parents ran a pet shop, so I had the pleasure of being surrounded by all sorts of critters. Because of this upbringing, I've had the joy of caring for a wide range of animals, getting to know their unique needs and keeping them healthy and happy. In my own little family, we currently have three sweet cats and a playful puppy who's just six months old. We live in the lovely countryside near Festus, with a whole acre of land securely fenced for our furry pals to explore. We even have a pool, and you can trust us when we say we take pool safety seriously! We love a good game of fetch or tug of war and have been really getting into positive reinforcement training. Our puppy is even learning how to use buttons to "speak". :) I've got a soft spot for every cat and dog out there, and I'd be thrilled to look after your precious babies whenever you need a hand. I can either host them at my place or swing by your home to check in on them. Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I can absolutely understand the importance of trust when it comes to finding the right pet sitter. So, let me assure you, I'm a dedicated and reliable professional. I'll treat your furry friends like they're part of my own family, following their routines and taking care of any special medications or dietary needs they may have. I can't wait to hear from you and meet your adorable pets! Feel free to reach out anytime. As a stay-at-home mom with older children, I have the flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your needs seamlessly! Please reach out with any questions about my availability. As mentioned earlier, our household comprises three friendly cats and a 6-month-old puppy. They are all well-accustomed to meeting new furry pals and get along famously with both dogs and cats. If necessary, we can easily arrange separate living spaces to ensure your fur-baby feels comfortable and at ease.
“Bailey had been a huge help for my parents! I reached out to her asking if she could take on a new client within 24 hrs due to elderly parents health emergency. She responded within minutes and showed up on time everyday. My parent’s dog absolutely loves her and it has been a huge blessing for my parents during recovery. And for me being out of state, puts my mind at ease that she is helping in a way I cannot. I highly recommend her”
About: Neighbors friends and families have all relied on me to bath, walk, medicate their babies and I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding resort! I’m currently working as a kennel technician at R Veterinary in Fenton. I work full-time at least 40 hours a week! Monday/ Tuesday/ Thursday I work 10:30-7pm Fridays I work 7am-7pm Saturdays I work 4-7pm And I’m off Wednesdays and Sundays! I have one dog well trained, free roam of the house, allowed on everything, potty trained and go out for his walk every day, and takes days off as he wants!
About: All my life, I have bonded with both dogs and cats, and animals in general. I have been told that I have an ability to connect with any animal effortlessly. While I have been dog-sitting for friends, family, and others for about four years, I also have worked as a Caregiver at CARE STL, an animal shelter in St. Louis. During my time at CARE, I fed, walked, played, and formed connections with over 100 dogs, as well as cats and other animals. After that, I started working as a server/bartender at Bar-K, to make money while still working in an animal-friendly environment. Since then, I have been a reliable, trusted, and consistent dog-sitter for many clients. The safety and care of any animal is always my biggest priority, and I promise that I will not disappoint! I currently am not working, as I have just recently graduated from Saint Louis University. In other words, I am more often than not, completely available to work anytime on Weekdays and Weekends. However, on June 1st, I will be starting an internship that requires 20 hours a week but my schedule is extremely flexible, as the internship is willing to adjust to whatever schedules I have. Because of my flexible availability, I am able to spend as much time with your fur baby as you would like me to. Whether it be cuddling, playing, or going outside, I will provide all of my attention and services to the care of your animals.
About: Hi friends! I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently share my home with four dogs, a cat, and some very spoiled chickens. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and it never feels like “work.” I know how busy life gets, and how important it is to travel or take a break without stressing about your pets. With experience in both home care and kennel settings, I’ve seen how much happier and calmer animals are when they can stay in their own environment. My goal is simple, make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable until you’re home again. I run my own cleaning business and homeschool my kids, which we’ve been doing for about a year and a half now. I love being my own boss and having a schedule that works for our family. With so many parents heading back to work these days, I wanted to do something that helps both people and their pets. I’ve always loved animals, so this felt like the perfect fit. Plus, it’s a great way to show my kids how even simple services can make a big difference for someone. I care for every pet just like I do my own — with calm energy, love, and lots of attention. Animals deserve the very best, and I truly enjoy giving them that. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are being cared for with kindness and respect while you’re away.
About: My house is full of love and my dogs will surely keep your pets entertained they are friendly with almost everyone and the indoor and indoor/outdoor cats have been around many dogs and other animals with no problems in addition the rodents and birds areas can be closed off so your pet has no experience with those animals to keep all pets happy and healthy. I grew up on a farm so I have experience with cows, goats, rabbits, geese, ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, dogs and cats. When I turned 17 also 6 years ago, I started my zoo as my father calls it, I have 11 animals. I started with a simple one cat and one dog. In 2023 I increased the number from 2 pets to 5 getting a Chinchilla and two cats one showing up at my front door and another surrendered to me after I friend couldn’t care for him anymore. Then in the beginning of 2025 another friend moved and couldn’t bring her birds so we took in 3 parakeets which they do better in pairs so we bought one to make it 4 and then a couple months later we were finally able to find a second chinchilla so that nether was lonely because they are also better in pairs also. Lastly number 11 I had been thinking about for awhile I always wanted a lot of dogs being a big dog person so my 11th pet we got at the beginning of 2026 she is a 8 month old border collie. I currently work part-time in the evenings so I’m free every morning and all weekend depending on the weekend. I can also be available any day by request but my days off are always Sunday, Monday, Friday, Saturday. I live in a rural area with a large space for dogs to play we have a 5 year old small medium pit-terrier mix and a 6 month old border collie. I also have a variety of pets so I have knowledge on how to care for birds, rodents, fish, cats and of course dogs large and small.

About: Hi, I’m Erica — a highly experienced animal care professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets and farm animals of all kinds. I’m trained as a veterinary assistant, including assisting with surgeries, administering medications, and caring for senior, disabled, and post-operative animals. I specialize in calm, consistent, in-home care for pets who do best staying in their familiar environment. Many of my clients have animals with medical needs, anxiety, blindness, mobility challenges, or strict routines, and they trust me to provide compassionate, detail-oriented care while they’re away. I’m also very comfortable with multi-pet households, rural properties, and farm animals. Having grown up on a farm myself, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for animals large and small, as well as maintaining a home and property with respect and reliability. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind, keep your pets safe and happy, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. -20+ years caring for animals of all species and temperaments -Veterinary assistant training, including surgery assistance -Medication administration (oral, topical, injections if required) -Special-needs pets (blind, senior, diabetic, post-surgical, anxious) -Farm and rural animal care -House sitting and extended stays -Potty training and behavioral reinforcement -I’m calm under pressure, attentive to detail, and deeply respectful of routines — especially when animals depend on consistency. Pet care is intentionally woven into my daily and weekly routine, not added on as an afterthought. I structure my schedule around the animals in my care so they receive consistent attention, enrichment, and calm companionship throughout the day. This allows me to be fully present for feedings, walks, playtime, medication needs, and individualized routines, while also offering flexibility for pets who need extra time, patience, or reassurance. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s what my days are built around. Safety, trust, and comfort are the foundation of every service I provide. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize calm, consistency, and close supervision. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs so their care feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, secure, and peaceful environment with plenty of space to relax and play. Supervised outdoor time is provided in a safely contained area, and all interactions are thoughtfully managed to ensure each animal feels comfortable and respected. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost care and follow instructions precisely to maintain the pet’s normal routine. With over 20 years of hands-on animal care experience, including veterinary assistant training, I am confident administering medications, supporting senior pets, and caring for animals with special needs. I maintain clear communication, provide regular updates, and care for every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love.

“I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with Ashley and her family overnight. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day to let me see he was having a great time. And he came back super tired from playing with all his friends! We will definitely use Ashley again.”
“Since this was the first time leaving our 3 year old Shihpoo I was very nervous, but Dave and his wife Cindy were great! Tanner seemed right at home with them and they really took wonderful care of him. They kept us updated with photos and texts, which made me less worried on our trip. We now have a safe and fun environment for Tanner whenever we need to leave him❤.”
“Rachell took care of my dog like he was one of her own! He was able to get all the socialization, playtime, and cuddles that he needs. Rachell sent me pictures and kept me updated on my dog so I never once worried.”
“Jade was a very great fit to watch and take care of Dozer! She kept me up dated and sent me pictures of him! I will definitely recommend her and use her again if I go on! Dozer is very happy and sleepy after his couple night stay with her!”
“Karissa was A+++ for my dogs when we left them to stay with her for a week. She sent us photos every day and they were obviously happy in her big yard and staying active. She will be my first choice for a sitter the next time I am out of town. Thanks!”
“Ashley wasted out Shepsky while we were on a float trip. She sent pictures. Jersey made herself right at home next to the chair. Her children played with her. Will definitely book her again.”
“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Davey has been excellent with Clifford! He's been a lifesaver for me while I'm going through a difficulty and am needing some last-minute dog boarding. Clifford is excited when he gets to go back and seems to be very well taken of! I would definitely recommend Davey to my friends/family!!”
“Sarah seems to really care and it's obvious, my furry kid had a great time and was very loved. I would highly recommend her and will certainly use her services again in the future.”
About: My husband and I will be working together to host doggy day care and boarding. With both of our schedules we will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Hi, I’m Bree! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and for the past 8 years I’ve worked professionally caring for them in many different settings. I spent 5 years working as a veterinary technician, giving me experience with medications, animal behavior, emergency situations, and CPR. I’ve worked with small animals, exotics, wildlife, and large animals, and I’ve also fostered countless puppies and kittens over the years. Because of my background, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs — whether that means an energetic puppy, a nervous rescue, or a senior pet needing extra attention. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, loved, and cared for like family while they’re away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your animals, and I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I meet. I love to hear about owners caretaking strategies so that I’m able to duplicate those qualities! We want to make your animals feel comfortable and loved while you’re away.
“Samantha was terrific!! With relatively little notice she's was able to watch our baby girl Lizzie. We got pictures of her playing and having a great stay while on our vacation. Would not hesitate to have her take care of our fur baby again.”
About: I will care for your pets as if they were my own and give them all the love and attention they could ever want! I am trustworthy and dependable. I currently work part time as a nanny so I have plenty of availability to take care of your pets! I currently work 3 days a week, 7-8 hours a day at my nanny job.

I always respect the wishes of the owner and take the safety of animals very seriously.
“Taryn was very accommodating for my two corgis. I was a little worried at first because one of my dogs can be a little aggressive toward new dogs. Taryn was able to introduce the dogs properly and assured me that she would be able to separate them if there was ever any issues. Everything worked out fine and my boys received all the love and attention they needed.”
“Our pups had a blast with Anthony and Sophia! They were so welcoming with Scud who can be a little shy and both dogs came home happy and tired from all the play time. Anthony and Sophia texted updates everyday and were flexible with the drop off and pickup. We will definitely be booking with them again!”

About: I have had a dog almost every year of my life and I have worked in an animal hospital for 8 years. I have taken care of dogs of all sizes from 6lb yorkies to 85lb goldens! I am a retired individual who loves hanging out with my family and taking care of dogs. I clean houses during the week but that provides me a very flexible schedule as it is on my time. As I am a trusted individual to clean other's houses, I know how to be respectful of other's spaces and leave them in a better condition than I arrive. My house is always picked up so no worries of dogs eating small toys or items that could harm them.
“It doesn’t get any better than the amazing service that Pete and Amy provide. I was blown away at how much they go above and beyond not only for the pets but the pet owners. I was sleepy when I dropped Nova off and asked if a gas station was nearby to get coffee and Pete made me an espresso right then. I didn’t even have to msg to ask about Nova because they sent pics and videos and updates before I even had to ask. You can tell immediately that they are just genuine people and they really care about the animals and are very passionate about what they do. They provided an amazing place for Nova to stay the weekend and I was able to relax and enjoy my little weekend trip knowing that Novs was in the best care. They do special little activities with them and I could just go on and on. I hope that they are available next time I need a sitter for Nova because they provide exceptional service. They sent her home with the most amazing picture of her and a hand written note that was very touching. I would recommend them to everyone.”
