“Ximena did a terrific job watching our timid toy poodle while we were on vacation! Her small dogs were friendly to mine. She clearly explained how she would keep her safe and what the daily routine is at our meet n greet, and sent pics and updates every day. As an added bonus, she lives very close! Will definitely use her again!”
“Victoria was amazing with the dogs! We got pictures and comments every day to know how they were doing and she was so sweet to them. She really treats her “guests” like they’re her own dogs, one of our dogs even slept in her bed!”
“Brock and Rashelle provided exceptional care for my beloved fur baby. Their kindness and affection truly shone through, making my pet feel right at home. He had a wonderful time playing with their pup, and I appreciated the daily walks and outdoor playtime they ensured he had. I also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which brought me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend their services!”
About: I ran a prison dog rescue and training program. We rehabilitated dogs from puppy mills, rescue groups and shelters. We also did grooming services for the dogs. I'm retired. My schedule is wide open. I have time to devote to taking care of customers pets. I have always had a affinity for taking care of animals. I live in a Townhouse in a nice area with plenty of green space. I enjoy walking dogs who come to my house or walking them from their house.
“Nicole is the BEST! Sent tons of pictures and gave multiple updates throughout our babies’ stay with her. Nicole was communicative & accommodating and we will be booking with her again!!”
“Amanda took wonderful care of my two dogs during their overnight stay. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly very comfortable around animals. I felt at ease knowing they were in such good hands, and it was clear they were well looked after and happy when I returned. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.”
“Mooncake is always thrilled to spend time with Stephanie, Kyle, and their wonderful dogs! Stephanie sends detailed and sweet updates throughout the day, which I really appreciate. Mooncake has a blast with them and collects snuggles all day.”
“Erin did a great job taking care of my puppy for the weekend! When I went to drop Lottie off she brought her dog down so that they could meet on neutral territory, which was really nice and during the weekend she text me updates and pics every day. I liked that she only took one pet at a time in addition to hers, that made me feel much safer leaving my puppy there. I would definitely recommend and use her services again!”
“I hate to be honest here. For fear that Kate and Ken will not be available when we need them in the future. They were so attentive to Tripp. Their dogs and our dog played so much. I received pictures and videos daily showing the smile on his face. We don’t have a yard as big as theirs. Or other dogs for him to play with. So this was a real treat for him. They understand our dog’s communication style. Let him be a dog. Play like a puppy. But also balanced it with the guidance and directions he is used to. Both Ken and Kelly were exactly what we hoped for when we signed up for care. We drove 40 minutes to drop him off and pick him up. Both my husband and I believe it is worth it. Previously Tripp had been boarded at a kennel. I started using Rover in hopes that he would get more interaction with dogs and humans while we were gone. Boy! Did Ken and Kelly do that! Thank you for loving him like one of your family!”
“Mary is very easy to work with, and professional at the same time. I felt very comfortable with her instantly upon meeting her, and entirely pleased with our interactions. I highly recommend her, and intend to book with her again soon.”
“We were so nervous to leave Emmett for the 1st time. We knew a regular kennel wasn’t a right fit . Laura and her family took Emmett in and loved him like their own pup. We loved the frequent pictures for updates. Playing in the fenced in back yard. Sleeping at Laura’s feet while she worked and walk outsides .Laura had great communication the whole week. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks Laura for making this a great experience for us and Emmett.”
“I've had very good luck with sitters on Rover. We've never had one we didn't like, but our experience with Catlyn was above and beyond. Our dog was treated like part of the family and had a great time spending a week with Catlyn's dogs and being a part of her family. I will never feel bad about leaving our dog with a sitter if she is in Catlyn's hands. She is also great at communicating and sending updates with photos and video. Highly recommend.”
“Dani was amazing! I boarded my two cats for almost two weeks which was the first time I have ever been away from them and I was nervous. She made sure my cats felt comfortable to be in a new environment and loved. I received frequent updates with pictures of my boys and made me feel at ease for boarding my boys.”
“Haley was the perfect fit for my scaredy dog. He has trouble adjusting to new things and Haley was so gentle and brought him out of his shell. It was an amazing experience and we will definitely be going back.”
About: I have experience providing loving, reliable pet care, including feeding, walking, playing, administering basic care, and giving every pet plenty of attention, affection, and comfort.

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide reliable, attentive care and a loving environment, giving pet parents complete peace of mind.
“Our 8 month old puppy Ollie stayed with Morgan while we were out of town for 5 days. It was Ollie's first time boarding somewhere and we could not have chosen anyone better! Morgan sent us multiple photos while we were gone and asked us questions when needed. Her little dog Finn was the cutest and is super easy going and friendly. We were so glad we chose Morgan and Finn, and will definitely choose them again if we need to board Ollie in the future.”
“Macee was fantastic! She cared for our dog like he was her own, kept us updated with adorable pictures and videos throughout his day and we know he had the best time! We really appreciated her great care!”

“Grace was amazing! She visted my cat and wasn't scared away when she became aggressive towards her. Very appreciative. Enjoyed reading her reports of the encounter and pictures of my temperamental cat.”
“Adrienne was an excellent sitter. Reliable and Calm around my cats especially the tabby who is nervous and shy. I would prefer to have Adrienne as our pet carer any time we need a sitter again. I definitely recommend her”
About: I’m an Animal Science major with a lifelong love for animals! I grew up with two dogs and have experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends and family. I’m responsible, patient, and love giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels happy and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time at a horse clinic while also attending classes. I have flexible breaks throughout the day, which gives me time to walk, feed, or play with pets. After work and classes, I’m available for evening visits or walks to make sure pets get the care and attention they need. I live in an apartment, so I’m not able to host pets overnight, but I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, and playtime to keep your pets happy and active. I always prioritize safety and make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and cared for during our time together.
“Martina did an excellent job keeping our cat, Mimi! She was a great communicator and sent us pictures each visit. Mimi obviously loved her visits. I will definitely call on her again, for our next vacation!”
“Hailea was great! She communicated regularly about my kitties and sent great photos. When I got home, they seemed well taken care of and happy. I will be booking with Hailea again!”
“Morgan was awesome — id recommend her to anybody who need a sitter. She sent daily pictures with updates, was super responsive, & gave my cat so much love. Thanks again, Morgan! 🐈⬛”
“Margaret made sure our cat had food and water as well as a clean litter box while we were away for 2 weeks. She made sure he got the attention and play time he needed in order to not get too lonely. It made us feel more at ease being gone for so long knowing he was getting attention and cared for.”
“I am satisfied with Janae’s work. I left my cat for a week and the cat is still alive. Lol. She sent photos and answered messages quickly enough. The house was kept clean. I will work with her again. Very respectful, kind & responsible person.”
“I am so thankful for Ellie! My cat is very shy and can be stressed with change, but she got along with Ellie so well and loved her visits! It makes me feel better about going out of town knowing she’s in good hands.”
About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional animal-care experience and a genuine love for cats. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals and am comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, and providing attentive, individualized care. I also have two cats of my own, so I understand that every cat has a unique personality and different needs. Whether your cat is playful and energetic, shy and independent, or loves nothing more than cuddling, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
“This is the second time that Samantha has watched our three cats. She sent regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. My cats were calm and happy when I returned, a true testament to the excellent care provided. Even my shyest cat comes out to visit when Samantha is at the house. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and kind cat sitter. I'll definitely be booking again!”
“She was great! My cat ate a string and she was able to watch him last minute so I could attend a birthday dinner without worrying that something would happen while I was gone. Her diligence and cute updates gave me peace of mind that my baby was okay 💕”

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

“Fawn is fairly new to Ximena and her pack. I wanted to have a back up sitter for when we wanted to board Fawn. Fawn gets very excited when we pull up to Ximena's house. She knows the dog "pack" and is excited to be there. When I pick her up at the end of the day, she is ready to have a nap, as she has had a busy day walking and playing. Ximena takes very good care of her. I recommend Ximena for caring for your small dog. She and her pack are great!”
“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!”
“Boots had a great time with Angie. He was only with her for a few hours while I was at a work event. I was surprised to find out even in his short stay he was taken for a walk! I will definitely book with Angie in the future if I’m in Columbia again.”
About: My home is a dog lover's dream — two friendly dogs already live here and are always ready to make new friends. We have a fully fenced backyard (please make sure your pets are on flea and tick medicine as ticks have been bad this year), loads of indestructible toys (thanks, BarkBox!), and an open-door policy between inside and out, so your pup can roam, play, and lounge whenever they please. I work from home full-time, which means your dog is never left alone — I'm always here. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, in the bed, wherever they're happiest. This is their vacation too. Whether your dog needs a playmate, a cozy couch to nap on, or both, they'll feel right at home. Pet care is genuinely woven into my day, not something I have to carve out time for. Since I work from home full-time, I'm always present — whether that's taking a mid-morning break to play in the backyard, keeping an eye on the pack while I'm at my desk, or just being available if anyone needs a cuddle or a quick romp outside. My own two dogs set the rhythm of the day — morning energy bursts, afternoon lounging, outdoor time whenever the mood strikes. Guest dogs just fold right into that routine. There's always someone to play with, always a sunny spot to nap in, and always a human nearby. My home is set up to be as dog-friendly as possible. The backyard is fully fenced, so dogs have safe, free access to outdoor space all day long — no leash required for backyard time. Inside, they're treated like family: furniture is fair game, the bed is open, and there are plenty of indestructible toys to keep them entertained. With two resident dogs already in the mix, guest dogs are never bored or lonely. There's always a playmate available, and I'm always nearby since I work from home full-time. I keep a close eye on group dynamics to make sure everyone is comfortable and playing nicely. I aim to keep routines as close to what your dog is used to as possible — feeding schedules, rest time, outdoor play — so the transition feels easy and low-stress for them. My goal is simple: your dog goes home happy, tired, and already looking forward to their next visit.
“Caleb accepted our last minute booking and was very accommodating. We had a really early drop off and a late pickup and they had no issue with that. Curry had a great time with their family. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs daycare services!”
“Fawn absolutely LOVES going to Christine's. Her dog, Daisy and Fawn are good buddies. A big plus s that Christine plays with Fawn. Fawn loves balls and Christine mixes up the variety of balls. I swear, when Fawn goes inn Christine's house and finds all the toys she has set up for the day's play, Fawn turns back and looks at me with the biggest, wide eyes and SMILE, I have ever seen on a dog. I recommend Christine if you are looking for a great care giver for your little dog.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: My family has had cats ever since I was 12, I also rescued a goldendoodle 8 years ago and he has been my best friend ever since. I love all types of animals, and have experience with rabbits, horses, guinea pigs, and hamsters as well. I have been pet sitting and dog walking as a vet student for over a year now. I am a veterinary student in my clinical rotation years. I live in a duplex, meaning I have my own house with no roommates. It is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath. I can pet sit from your house if you have multiple pets and are gone for days or pet sit from my own place if you have just a cat or a smaller dog. I live in a duplex at the moment by myself without any pets, but I pet sit for friends a lot, driving over to their places to let the dogs out/walk them, feed the cats/dogs/fish and clean the litter boxes, make sure the water bowls are filled, etc.

“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!!”
“Because of poor planning on our part, we did not have boarding arrangements last Sunday when we were going to be out of town for the day. Sam and Jesse stepped up and took care of our Dobby for us. As always, they did a great job with him. And they bailed us out of a potentially tough situation. Thanks to Sam and Jesse for all they do!”
About: Moe’s Place is a small in home dog boarding facility. I provide one on one care as well as exit baths. Moe’s Place has commercial kennels indoors and outdoors so they can stay outside when the days are nice. There is a large fenced in play area, but only dogs who come together play together. I make sure every dog is given some additional time to be treated like family. We turn our pups out in the morning before feeding, around noon and early afternoon. We also ensure your pup has time to go out before bed. We live here so it makes it very convenient to ensure your family member is getting the best care. We have lots of open time and play time. If your pup decides they would rather play indoors, we have an indoor play area also.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I am currently in college to become a certified veterinary technician. I have veterinary medicine training and can spot health problems right away. I have administered medicine and given medication orally. I have open availability through out the week when I work so your furry friends will always have someone at home to take care of there needs. I have a small fenced in part of my yard. No animal is left unattended and is always safe in my care. I always go out of my way to make my home feel like there own.

“Taylor was great! She came over the day before to meet the doggies. Even though the times I originally requested were a little difficult for her schedule that day (it was last minute,) she did all she could to make it as close as possible- and ended up being there about the time I had requested anyway. I scheduled two visits in one day, and while I said the second visit only needed to be a feed and let out in the yard - she asked if they could still go for a walk. :) She was also very observant and noticed a small scratch on one of my dogs, sent a photo, and asked if I wanted her to treat it. I really appreciate all the attentiveness; and the above and beyond she provided for my babies. Most importantly, the dogs seemed to really like her too. :) We are already planning for her to return. Thank you!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life ranging from puppies to tortoises. I know the hard work that goes into caring for animals and keeping them happy and healthy.

I can play with your animals to keep them entertained and make sure they stay out of trouble.
About: I love all kinds of animals! I have owned and cared for a wide range and animal's. My goal is to make animals have a great life. I am a full time student at Mizzou but my schedule allows for plenty of time through the day. I have many gaps between classes so I can check on anything in the middle of the day.

About: I have always had my own personal dogs and cats as well as occasionally taking care of the pets of friends and family.

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs through my professional work in veterinary care. I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of personalities, sizes, ages, and needs, including providing daily care, exercise, and following individualized routines. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need extra attention, patience, or close monitoring. I’m reliable, attentive to detail, and quick to notice changes in a pet’s behavior or wellbeing. Most importantly, I treat every dog with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 7 AM–4 PM, but I’m available before and after work, as well as during my lunch break, for pet visits and care. I’m available from 5–7 AM, 11 AM–1 PM, and 4–8 PM during the week. My weekends are completely open, so I have plenty of flexibility for longer visits, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I also have two cats of my own, so caring for animals is already an important part of my everyday life! I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow their feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure their pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine and preferences. My professional animal-care experience has also taught me to be very attentive to changes in behavior or wellbeing. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.
About: I have been a Farm Caretaker for over 5 years. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, goats & chickens, and limited experience caring for horses. I am comfortable administering various medicines and trimming goat hooves. I have a 9yr old Aussy Shepherd Service Animal, who is my best friend and who I also trained myself. I take pride in understanding animal speak. They tell us what they need if we listen! Each morning, our pup Foster dashes out the back door 1st thing for morning sniffs, our kitty Pepper lingers behind. They quickly trade places so Pepper can sip her morning dewy water in peace, while Fosty woofs down his expected breakfast inside. And by this time, we hear a rattle at our bunny Rupert’s pen, as he tells us it’s obviously time for his favorite morning pellets! Another morning in the life:) Daily, I play fetch with my dog son in our spacious back yard. We also take walks in the neighborhood & the park nearby. Kitty gets outdoor time at her request each day. Bunny enjoys free-roaming the house each day. All of our animals co-exist in peace, & even playfulness:) I respect & adhere to systems you may have in place to keep peace & balance:)
About: I love working with animals! Friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their pets. I’ve taken care of countless animals, volunteer at an animal shelter, have had multiple pets over the years, and have a hobby of rescuing stray animals. I would love to help with anything needed. Please reach out! I am currently looking for a summer job before attending college in August. I am free almost any day this summer to come and take care of your fur baby! I have lots of experience wrangling dogs and cats of all kinds. I am an experienced sitter who prioritizes safety and happiness of the animal.
About: Hi, my name is Becca. I live with four dogs, two Yorkies(Cocoa and Buddy), a Pit mix and a Beagle (Doobie and Maribel)! I love to play in the backyard with them and take them on walks. I think that it’s important to show dogs you care about them, by spending time with them. I enjoy long walks especially with dogs, it’s more fun when you have a furry friend with you! I look forward to getting to know your dog and learning more about their personality. Don’t hesitate to tell me if your dog has special needs or requirements. My schedule is somewhat flexible. I am currently in paramedic school. My classes are mostly in the mornings, but my schedule is pretty flexible during the afternoons on week days. I have a fenced-in yard, and all dogs have plenty of toys to play with! I often run around in the backyard with them to help get some of their energy out!
“Jennifer was great with Merle! She was available right away when I found out I needed a dog walker and responded within minutes. She was literally there within an hour. I really appreciate her being accommodating and taking my furbaby for a walk on such short notice. He had a great time and she sent me cute pictures of him on campus :)”

I am on rover because I am minoring in Animal Science, and spending my time with animals is one of my favorite things to do! I work part time, my schedule isn’t set and it fluctuates every week. Reaching out in advance is always appreciated but if there is a day/night I’m not working, I would love to sit your fuzzy friend! Even better if you’re open to me working my part-time job into the schedule if it’s house sitting 😊 I am very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and cats, I love being active so walks and playing outside in this nice weather is a given.

“Victoria was amazing with the dogs! We got pictures and comments every day to know how they were doing and she was so sweet to them. She really treats her “guests” like they’re her own dogs, one of our dogs even slept in her bed!”
“Nicole is the BEST! Sent tons of pictures and gave multiple updates throughout our babies’ stay with her. Nicole was communicative & accommodating and we will be booking with her again!!”
“Mooncake is always thrilled to spend time with Stephanie, Kyle, and their wonderful dogs! Stephanie sends detailed and sweet updates throughout the day, which I really appreciate. Mooncake has a blast with them and collects snuggles all day.”
“Erin did a great job taking care of my puppy for the weekend! When I went to drop Lottie off she brought her dog down so that they could meet on neutral territory, which was really nice and during the weekend she text me updates and pics every day. I liked that she only took one pet at a time in addition to hers, that made me feel much safer leaving my puppy there. I would definitely recommend and use her services again!”
“I hate to be honest here. For fear that Kate and Ken will not be available when we need them in the future. They were so attentive to Tripp. Their dogs and our dog played so much. I received pictures and videos daily showing the smile on his face. We don’t have a yard as big as theirs. Or other dogs for him to play with. So this was a real treat for him. They understand our dog’s communication style. Let him be a dog. Play like a puppy. But also balanced it with the guidance and directions he is used to. Both Ken and Kelly were exactly what we hoped for when we signed up for care. We drove 40 minutes to drop him off and pick him up. Both my husband and I believe it is worth it. Previously Tripp had been boarded at a kennel. I started using Rover in hopes that he would get more interaction with dogs and humans while we were gone. Boy! Did Ken and Kelly do that! Thank you for loving him like one of your family!”
“Dani was amazing! I boarded my two cats for almost two weeks which was the first time I have ever been away from them and I was nervous. She made sure my cats felt comfortable to be in a new environment and loved. I received frequent updates with pictures of my boys and made me feel at ease for boarding my boys.”
“Haley was the perfect fit for my scaredy dog. He has trouble adjusting to new things and Haley was so gentle and brought him out of his shell. It was an amazing experience and we will definitely be going back.”

“Macee was fantastic! She cared for our dog like he was her own, kept us updated with adorable pictures and videos throughout his day and we know he had the best time! We really appreciated her great care!”
“Jessica was awesome, super communicative and an overall kind person! I loved the daily pictures and SO thankful she took my dog so last minute. Leo seemed so very happy to be there!”
About: I have grown up around and loved pets since I was 7 years old! Many parts of my childhood I grew up with 5 dogs, but we just recently got our first cat. My partner is also an animal lover and grew up with multiple pets his entire life (his mom is a veterinarian!). We now have a 6 month old dachshund, Clover, and a cat, Stella Dallas! We are students so we have really relaxed schedules, and spend a lot of our time working from home. We live in a house that has a large privacy fence with a perfect sized backyard. We joined Rover to share our love with your animals! 🥰🐾 My partner and I are both students and I work a remote job. We spend a lot of our time not in class at home with our animals! I have a fenced in yard with a privacy fence. My dog Clover will keep your dog company as she loves to play with all of her cousins! Clover is crate trained so I have experience with that, but I don’t mind if your dog is not! I spend a lot of my time at home so your pup or cat will always be getting attention and the love they deserve while you’re away! :)
“Weiling took excellent care of Lisa and Maggie. She was always very attentive to their needs and made sure they were comfortable and happy throughout their stay. She sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind, and she absolutely spoiled them with love and attention. Communication was open, consistent, and easy from start to finish. She was also very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. I would not hesitate to leave Lisa and Maggie with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“Lisa did an amazing job! She sent photos and kept us informed about how our dog was doing throughout the stay. Our dog came home healthy and happy, as though he’d never left! Big thank you to Lisa for all the loving care you gave our little guy!”
“Donna was very helpful with my last minute request. She had time to invite me over so Kushito can meet her pack before the stay. She kept me updated with videos and pictures of him! She has an amazing outdoor space. He was very happy when I picked him up and I could tell he had a lot of fun during his stay!”
About: Hi there! My name is Sofia and I am a medical student at Mizzou Med and would LOVE to walk your dog! I have been caring for my dog for 11 years and before that I watched friends’ dogs for long periods of time. If you couldn’t tell, I absolutely LOVE all dogs. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart, and I am an extremely trustworthy person to leave your 4-legged family member with! I understand the importance of finding a walker/ sitter you can trust as I do not trust just anyone to take care of my own pup, and I will do an excellent job of keeping your baby safe and happy. I would be so happy to walk, feed, and play with your dog! I will adjust my schedule to whatever your pet requires! I am very enthusiastic about taking care of dogs, so your pup will be my number 1 priority. The main thing I care about is NEVER leaving your dog unattended!! I am super responsible and I would never want anything to happen to your dog under my watch. I am also very energetic and love playing with dogs, so your dog will never be bored.
