“Ximena always does a terrific job! This time she let us know that Pugsley wasn't eating well and offered him some special food, after checking with us. That was all it took to get him to eat like her dogs and he came home happy and well fed! We always trust that Pugsley will get great care!”
“My 5 year old golden had an amazing time with Matt, Angel, and their two sweet dogs. Tons of photos and videos, as well as a detailed (and quite funny) daily update. Lots of walks, treats, and playtime too. Would absolutely book with them again.”
“Brock and Rachelle were very nice and easy to work with! The location in Rover/Apple Maps doesn’t show correctly, so I recommend using Google Maps to navigate :)”
“My pups are typically pretty nervous around new people, but they made themselves right at home with Victoria. They had so much fun and I received daily updates which helped settle my nerves more than imaginable while we were away. Victoria was always available to assist with any questions and extremely accommodating to my boys needs. We will definitely try to book with Victoria again before considering any other options! 😊”
“Amanda is great! Ceasar seemed completely at ease with her. She took him on many walks and sent updates and pictures every day. I'll definitely have her keep Ceasar on our next vacation.”
“Stephanie is hands down the single best dog sitter on this app. She is so responsive and sends the best, most detailed updates! She truly cares for my pup and I literally have 0 worries when he’s with her while I’m away. I can’t say enough how wonderful she is and how highly I recommend her! 10/10.”
“Kelly and her husband are a treasure! They were so gracious about accepting a boarding request that was very last minute and they were even more gracious about my activity running late. Both the dogs were very well taken care of, even the senior one who is a bit spoiled at home! They were relaxed and content when they got picked up. I would absolutely make use of Kelly’s services again and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone I know. It’s can be nerve racking to leave your dogs with someone you don’t know, but Kelly instantly had me completely at ease. Not only is she a good dog sitter but, perhaps more importantly, you can tell she’s a good person. Excellent, smooth experience! Thanks Kelly!!”
“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!”
“This was our first time to board our dog and we were a little nervous, but Alicen was wonderful! Our dog had a great time and we were confident she was being well cared for. We’ll definitely board with Alicen again!”
“Catlyn is wonderful! Roo has a great time and seems right at home in Catlyn’s home! We appreciate the communication and photo updates. It’s clear Roo gets so much love at Catlyn’s!”
“Elizabeth took excellent care of our fur-baby, Sully. We got updates and pictures of her playing pretty regularly. Sully seemed to enjoy the vacation almost as much as we did. Thank you Elizabeth! ??”
“Mary was such a friendly person and very welcoming! My pup had the best time and seemed to be right at home! Mary was very communicative and sent photos. Thank you again!”
“Thank you so much to Laura and her family for taking such great care of our pups! This was our first experience using a Rover sitter while we traveled and it gave us such peace! We will definitely do it again!”
“Dani and Skye were wonderful dog sitters for our beagle, Jenny. We left Jenny with them for a week and they took great care of her. Dani texted us pictures and kept us updated on how Jenny was doing while staying with them. Dani and Skye both love animals and Jenny enjoyed being around their own dog and cat. We would highly recommend these two for anyone looking for a nurturing environment for a pet. Thanks so much!!”
“Have had dog sitters all over the country. I have never been more comfortable than bringing out dogs to her..it's like a vacation for the dogs and stress free for us.. she is awesome, her setup is perfect.”
“Samantha and Jesse took very good care of Buddy. This was his first time being away from us for a few days. We will definitely use their services again. Also enjoyed the pictures they sent.”
“Macee is the absolute best. The only bad thing about Macee is that she is so wonderful to my pup that I worry that my pup won’t want to come home!😉😊. Macee takes care of her in the most loving and fun way.”
“Lisa was great with my dogs, Sadie and Sookie! She kept me updated with pictures and made sure they were having a good time. Sookie had a little injury, and Lisa made sure to keep an eye on it and take good care of her. I felt really comfortable leaving them with her. Definitely recommend!”

“Clayton was such a good sitter and extremely trustworthy. My scaredy cat loved him and cuddled with him everyday! I wouldn’t have been able to go get surgery without his help.”
“Abigail did a fantastic job of taking care of our 4 feline boys for a week. One of our guys has some special needs and she excelled in his care giving. You could tell from the photos and videos that the fur balls really appreciated her visits. Will definitely use her again when the need arises. Highly recommended.”
“Olivia did an excellent job on her drop in visits with Griffin filling in while his regular Rover person was out of town. And as an added bonus, she brought her dog along a few times for playtime!”
“Josie was wonderful and patient with my shy, senior cats. I appreciated her adaptability and willingness to handle some of my weirder requests without hesitation, like caring for my fish and refilling the salad bowl which is the only thing my cat will drink out of. Highly recommended!”
“Arabella was super responsive and communicative while checking on my kitties. She sent lots of videos and pictures that helped ease my traveling anxiety and let me know they were in good hands. Would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“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.”
About: As a cat mom of three, I have 11 years of hands-on cat care experience with cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m familiar with many types of cat toys, litter products, feeding tools, and enrichment supplies, and I enjoy learning what helps each cat feel comfortable and happy. I also have experience caring for sick cats and can administer oral medication when needed. Friends often trust me to care for their cats, and I always make sure to follow each cat’s routine closely while giving them patient, gentle, and attentive care.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 6 years now, and I just recently adopted my own! His name is maverick and he’s a husky, but I also have a cat (bean) and another dog (bronco) who I adopted a few years ago. I live in an apartment complex here in Columbia, and I’m currently a college student! I work full time, three days a week. Tues-thurs! I do work nights so I’m usually free from 8am-6pm on the days that I work, otherwise I’m free early mornings and late at night if needed. I’m available to do drop in visits and boarding on the weekends :) Since I live in an apartment complex without a fence I typically walk maverick on a leash and frequently take him to the off leash dog park near by. I’d be able to do whatever you do at your home to accommodate!
“Bailey was so sweet and made traveling so easy! I have 3 cats and just made it back home after our week long trip. Everyone is happy, healthy, and the house is clean! One of my cats is a bit more difficult (needs meds twice a day, is shy/hisses at new people), but she seemed to have no problems taking care of him. I highly recommend Bailey!”
About: I've assisted in taking care of family cats from a very young age and currently have a cat of my own that I care for. I have cat-sat for several neighbors and other clients through word of mouth and have consistently provided safe and reliable care. I take the time to get to know the individual cat to develop trust and help them feel safe. I will respect their boundaries and unique personalities!
“Adrienna is an excellent and reliable sitter for our family of cats. Also Adrienna is willing to feed our pond fish. Having worked with many animals on a farm Adrienna is calm around our cats and efficient at performing all duties. She has stayed in touch sending photos and updates. We are so pleased with Adrienna that we booked her again.”
“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!”
“Love love love her. Messages and videos all the time. Animal of her own so I can trust her. And you can just all around tell she really cares for my animals like her own. 1000% recommend.”
“Taylor has become a good friend of Dexter and me. On my recent trip away, she took care of my Bengal and was reliable and friendly. She also helped me after my schedule changed and I got home early. I had never needed to change a Rover reservation so she took care of it for me. Thanks, Taylor!”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“My dog has been getting daycare services with Ximena for about 3 weeks now and I couldn't be happier. Ximena is literally the most lovely and kind person I have ever met. She treats my dog as if she's one of her own. Ximena and her family are truly lovely people who genuinely love dogs. They always go above and beyond during my dogs visits, take tons of photos and give consistent updates. They cater to my dog and take such good care of her. I'm so happy that I found Ximena and I have no plans of ever taking her anywhere else.”
“Wendy and her family are excellent providers! She was in touch frequently with concerns, joys, pictures, and even video. She is very responsive to messages and had wonderful suggestions for how to improve our dog's experience. Wendy made sure we were confident and comfortable leaving our pup in her care. 100/5 stars!”
“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.”
“Donna is great. She is so chill so all the pups are always just adorable toddlers playing in the yard, or napping on cots. Our giant baby has serious attachment disorder. Rescue dogs, eh? Anyway. Rough drop off our first time. This time, he started to get excited half a block away!!! It is so stress relieving to be able to drop off Boo, and go to appointments ts knowing he’s having fun with his friends. We will be back and back and back.”
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!”
“Kevin & His wife are AWESOME! They have beautiful clean house, very specious for doggies. My special little beagle is so shy and fell in love with them and their little dog❤️ lots of communication ! Lots of pics! Great price! Overall I’m extremely satisfied ❤️ a new beginning to Milo’s better life 🙏 he will be returning 🐾🐕🦺 thank you Kevin🙏”
“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: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dogs and have never thought of them as “just pets”, they're family! I've raised both a Beagle and a French Bulldog from puppyhood and have experience caring for senior dogs as well. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality, whether they're energetic and playful or happy to spend the day snuggled up on the couch. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I'm a stay-at-home mom and work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pup attention, playtime, walks, and lots of love. Your dog's happiness and safety will always be my priority. We even have a separate room available for them who would feel more comfortable having their own quiet space while staying with us. My family recently moved to Missouri from Hawaii, where I had the opportunity to care for many wonderful dogs. I truly enjoy being around animals and would love to treat your furry family member like one of my own. For me, the pet care including my dog is the most priority in my life. I’m currently working as a freelance so my schedule is very flexible! I can definitely change my schedule to suit to your request, please feel free to let me know! I will pay my FULL attention to our dogs all the time, and if you have any requests I’d love to do anything you and your dog will love! Your pets' happiness and safety will always be my priority. We even have a separate room available for them who would feel more comfortable having their own quiet space while staying with us.
“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.”
“Alicen was awesome with my dog, very knowledgeable and dog behavior and was able to make sure my more submissive and cautious dog was comfortable!! So appreciative of how good she was!”
“My first experience with Rover was supposed to be with a veteran wife and mother of two. Instead it was with a man in a house with blacked out windows and probably a healthy dose of Benadryl for my dog. Mercifully my second experience was with Elliot and was absolutely perfect! He invited me into his home, introduced me to his partner and sent me daily updates with photos. I didn’t even know this was an option! I will absolutely recommend him to everyone and use his services again. I can’t thank you enough for taking care of my dog!”
About: I have a senior pet myself. She is a 15 year old shitzu that I trained (If you know about shitzus they can be very sassy/stubborn lol). I have also raised two of my cats from 6 weeks old. Both my dog and cats are very friendly and tolerable. My boyfriend is home most of the day. I am a waitress so I don’t go into work until 4 or later usually I get out at 9-10 but usually earlier. Besides that I am always home. I care for pets that I am watching just like I would my own! My apartment building has a big yard and i have many good pet friendly parks very close by. I have multiple dog toys, treats, and dog bed (but my dog is small) I also have multiple cat towers, scratchers, toys, and treats. My pets are feed 3x a day morning, noon, and night. My dog is walked at least 2x a day not including potty breaks.
About: My family owned a large yellow lab and I was the care taker of him from a young age. I have taken care of pets for family and friends in the past and am looking to make use of my free time. I recently graduated from college and I am a member of the National Guard. I’m Not currently employed so my schedule is flexible as long if I am given advanced notice. I live in a single story duplex. The neighborhood is walkable but there are no fenced in yards. There are natural trails nearby to accommodate exercise for your pet.
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.
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, so caring for dogs, cats, and other pets has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood to their senior years, and I understand the different needs at every stage. What sets me apart is the blend of lifelong experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I know how to handle high-energy pups who need extra playtime, provide gentle care for senior pets, and create a safe, comfortable environment for every dog in between. With two friendly dogs of my own, a Vizsla and a Wirehaired Griffon, your pup will have both human and canine companionship during their stay. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be home often, which means I can check in on your pup or cat throughout the day and give them plenty of attention. I'll make sure your pets have companionship, consistency, and comfort while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and feel at ease. With two friendly dogs and a Persian cat, your pet will have companionship, but I also know how to manage introductions and keep everyone safe and comfortable. We also have the ability to keep our pets on a separate floor of the home.

“Martina is great! Our German Shepherd loves his walks with her and she is working great at getting our golden to warm up and go for walks, which might not ever happen but always appreciate the effort and initiative!!”
“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!”
“Jennifer walked my dog Malory twice a week for several months. She took great pictures and I always knew Malory was safe and being properly taken care of. Jennifer is wonderful and I highly recommend her services!”
About: My name is Doug and my wife, Adrienne, and I have an adorable pitbull mix with special needs named Shuri. I have a soft spot for power breeds and misunderstood dogs; though, we love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have had dogs my entire life and have worked with dogs of all different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have experience in basic training methods. I have experience working with multiple dogs, administering medication, and doing basic training work. Most special needs can be accommodated. Plus your dog will definitely receive lots of love from myself and the rest of the family. I currently work from home and have plenty of time to spend with your pups. I am available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop in visits, and overnights I believe dogs require adequate exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation to truly thrive. I look to provide all three to my dog every day and can help provide them to your dog
“Kelsi has been the perfect dog walker for my pup! I know my dog enjoys getting outside with Kelsi - on my busy days, she is a lifesaver. Kelsi has always been very communicative and responsive, as well. Highly recommend her if you are looking for genuine care for your pet.”
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!
About: My philosophy is to provide your pets care and attention as if they were my own. I have provided care for friends, family, and hired to walk, dog/house sit, check in etc. ranging from puppies through senior pets who might need extra care and support. I am accustomed to providing individualized care to multiple animals as specified by owners. I am currently in graduate school to be an occupational therapist! I am happy to work with you to find what works for us both! I do a lot of studying and reading which can be with your pets. This also means I need breaks and movement, which I can do in alignment with your pets schedules! I will follow the owners care instructions to a T on their do’s and don'ts! I also like to ask questions as needed to ensure your home, pets, and myself are safe and in tip top shape throughout!
About: I’ve been pet sitting since highschool at the age of 14. I’ve am also a veterinary assistant since 2023! I have my own pet that is a very active German Shepherd! I am a college student working at a vet clinic 15+ hours a week in the evenings! I am very flexible during the day time. Most days I don’t work until 3pm! I can easily monitor your pet and make sure it has a blast when in my care! The care I provide for my own pet is something I pride myself on and would love to care for yours!
“Donna is EXCELLENT with my dogs Charlie and Buddy. They're Maltese-Shih Tzu mixes, 7 and 3 years old, and they absolutely love her and they walks she takes them on. I've watched her with my boys and based on what I've seen, would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a walker with a great temperament and strong skills at dog handling.”
About: I have a senior pet myself. She is a 15 year old shitzu that I trained (If you know about shitzus they can be very sassy/stubborn lol). I have also raised two of my cats from 6 weeks old.

I’d be able to do whatever you do at your home to accommodate!
“Sam was great with my shy girl and she is already pretty comfortable with her. That is unusual, because Gracie takes a long time to trust people. Matilda is shy but loves walks so she is easy and Charlie thinks everyone is here to spoil him. All 3 came home with tails high, and that is the most important thing. Sam did super with my babes.”
About: I use to work at a dog daycare called playful pack and I have also grown up with dogs and cats for most of my life. I can work anytime on weekends, on Tuesday I can work from 1pm-12am. I am very flexible with my schedule, so just ask and i’ll see what I can do. When dog sitting or walking, I first take in account of your dog’s behavior and make adjustments. For example, if your dog gets hyper around other dogs i’ll choose a place to walk the dog in a more isolated place. I also want your dog to feel comfortable and not threatened in anyway so i’ll work with your dog to be more comfortable with me.
About: My experience with pets started at an early age, as there has never been a time in my life where I haven’t had at least one dog and cat that I absolutely adored and took care of. From fostering kittens to attending the hounds around town walking program for dogs- I’ve had a pretty wide range! I’ve completed a socializing program with my prior local humane society, pet sat many of my friends and family’s’ fur babies- as well as currently taking care of my three sweet cats! I would love to meet your pets and share some love when you aren’t able to! It brings a lot of joy to my life :) I’m currently a medical professional employed in the Columbia community but have pet sat as a side gig for many years as a way to connect with the community, meet other local pet parents, and love on others pets as if they were my own! My schedule varies and is often open the entire day. I would love to fit some pet sitting/walking opportunities into my life when I’m able! Taking care of your pets in your home is completely up to your preferred method! Every pet parent is different and I will make sure to tailor that experience to the sitting. Details and communication are the most important thing .

About: Hi! I’m Josselyn, a pre-veterinary student at the University of Missouri (Mizzou) with a strong passion for animal care and behavior. In high school, I completed a veterinary technician program and successfully passed the certification exam, giving me hands on experience in animal health and clinical care. I also completed an internship at a veterinary hospital, where I assisted with patient exams, treatments, and daily operations. Most recently, I worked at a doggy daycare, where I gained valuable experience in managing group play, understanding canine behavior, and ensuring each dog’s safety and happiness. My background has given me a well-rounded understanding of animal needs from medical care to playtime and I’m dedicated to providing compassionate, reliable care for every pet I meet. I’m currently working part time and I’m also a full time student. I am mostly available nights or late afternoon. I am also pretty much always available over the weekend. I don’t currently have a dog but my roommate has a very playful pup. He’s a very good listener and extremely calm for a puppy.

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!”
“This was our first time to board our dog and we were a little nervous, but Alicen was wonderful! Our dog had a great time and we were confident she was being well cared for. We’ll definitely board with Alicen again!”
“Dani and Skye were wonderful dog sitters for our beagle, Jenny. We left Jenny with them for a week and they took great care of her. Dani texted us pictures and kept us updated on how Jenny was doing while staying with them. Dani and Skye both love animals and Jenny enjoyed being around their own dog and cat. We would highly recommend these two for anyone looking for a nurturing environment for a pet. Thanks so much!!”
“Have had dog sitters all over the country. I have never been more comfortable than bringing out dogs to her..it's like a vacation for the dogs and stress free for us.. she is awesome, her setup is perfect.”
“Samantha and Jesse took very good care of Buddy. This was his first time being away from us for a few days. We will definitely use their services again. Also enjoyed the pictures they sent.”
“Macee is the absolute best. The only bad thing about Macee is that she is so wonderful to my pup that I worry that my pup won’t want to come home!😉😊. Macee takes care of her in the most loving and fun way.”
“Lisa was great with my dogs, Sadie and Sookie! She kept me updated with pictures and made sure they were having a good time. Sookie had a little injury, and Lisa made sure to keep an eye on it and take good care of her. I felt really comfortable leaving them with her. Definitely recommend!”
“Jennifer was very accommodating to me needing someone last minute. She answered promptly and professionally. She sent me several pictures while I was gone. Her puppy and older dog both LOVED my dog and my dog seemed extremely happy in all photos and only wanted to leave because she knew it was a car ride. I will definitely use Jennifer again. 10/10 would recommend to anyone that needs reliability, fluctuation, and a person with a great attitude!”
“We left our two dogs with Daniel while we went out of town for three nights and loved the daily pictures and updates that we got. Would absolutely recommend Daniel to anybody!”
“Donna was quick to respond to my inquiry and schedule a meet & greet prior to booking. She was accomodating to the extended times I needed, seemed knowledgeable with dogs, sent me updates while my puppy was in her care, and I picked up a happy puppy when I got back! I will book with her again!”
About: I have over 5 years of pet-sitting experience and have had dogs my entire life, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. What sets me apart is my commitment to providing personalized care and maintaining each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. In addition to pet sitting, I occasionally volunteer at a puppy nursery that cares for rescued mother dogs and their newborn puppies. This experience has given me additional exposure to caring for young puppies, monitoring their needs, and helping provide a safe and nurturing environment during an important stage of their development. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets, administering basic medications if needed, and providing extra patience and attention to puppies, senior pets, and animals with specific routines. Whether a pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having companionship throughout the day, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I am currently taking online classes over the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. My priority is always providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for pets. I live on 12 acres in a quiet setting and have one small, very friendly Cocker Spaniel. While my yard is not fenced, pets are always supervised outdoors and can be kept on long leads for safe exercise and exploration when appropriate. I never allow pets off-leash unless specifically instructed by the owner and it is safe to do so. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their environment clean and secure. I understand that trust is important when someone is caring for a beloved pet, so I maintain open communication and provide regular updates and photos. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and needs to ensure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout my time with them.
