“I’m hesitant to write a review on Shane and Lance because I want to be selfish and keep these incredible people my own little secret. They took amazing care of our high energy dog, worked to maintain the boundaries we have set with her training, and it was very clear they treated our girl like she was family. Lots of pictures and videos - Shane, Lance, and their family are just all around amazing people who truly love dogs. We will be returning customers without a doubt!”
“Brittany was great! We went over to meet her a few days before and when I dropped my dog off he was already comfortable with her. She worked with me to find a good time for pick up and drop off. She kept me updated and sent plenty of pictures. I was able to focus on the matter at hand and not worry about my dog because I knew he was well taken care of. Highly recommend, will definitely be calling her again!”
“Dewayne was amazing. I had a last minute booking and he made it super easy. Sent pictures and updates, and Benny was very clearly happy. It was great to have my mind at ease while 3 hours away. I will 100% be booking again.”
“Our 2 dogs seemed very comfortable with Morgan! We loved getting updates with pictures of how our dogs were doing while we were away. Plus there was plenty of space outside for the dogs to enjoy.”
“John and Rachael were very welcoming of us and our hyper dog! We felt very comfortable leaving her in their care and an added bonus that they have kids to love on her during her stay.”
“We had a great experience with Destiny and Matthew while they took care of our dog Maple over the weekend. They are a very kind and caring couple, and it was evident from the start that Maple was in good hands. Destiny's prompt responses and regular updates with pictures and videos were reassuring and showed just how much attention and love Maple was receiving. Maple had a blast playing with their dogs and came back happy. We highly recommend Destiny and Matthew for anyone looking for attentive and loving pet sitters!”
“Chloe was awesome with my pup Angus. She provided excellent services and communication throughout the sitting period. I will definitely be using her for future sittings! Thank you Chloe!”

“Madilyn was awesome with my cats, she was very punctual and had great communication. She spend some time playing with them and I adore the pictures she sent. It was very reassuring to be able to see my babies each time she stopped in. I would recommend her 10/10!”
“Daphne is a wonderful person and she took such great care of my cats! Daphne sent daily reports and pictures so I knew exactly how my babies were doing. I would hire Daphne again in a heartbeat A+.”

About: Hi! I’m originally from SC where I dog-sat, boarded pets, and fostered animals alongside my sister who also used Rover. As I’ve now moved to Missouri, I’d love to continue working with animals myself. I’m very communicative, sending pictures with every check in and notes with how they’re doing, I can be very flexible depending on your pet’s needs, and of course I try to be considerate when in other people’s homes. I love all animals and always try to go above and beyond to make sure they’re not bored or without good pets and loving while you’re away! I work during the week, but I am completely open after 5 pm and available all day on weekends. I try to be as flexible as possible outside of my work hours! I always make sure to treat other’s homes just as I’d want someone to treat mine. I make sure to stay in designated areas with the pets and always make sure to clean up after myself or pick up any messes pets might’ve made.
“Excellent service. Worked with me when I sent a booking request for an hour later. Had no issues booking and she responded quickly and didn’t hassle me for the last minute booking. My pets were happy, healthy, and well cared for! Even the photos she took looked so professional, I love them.”
About: Seven years ago, I welcomed my first cat into my life, and since then, my appreciation for these amazing creatures has only deepened. Currently, I share my home with two wonderful feline companions who bring endless joy and enrichment to my days. William, the elder of the two, came into my life during the COVID-19 pandemic and prefers a stable, unchanging environment. He dislikes disruptions like new cats or unexpected visitors. On the other paw, Sir Walter Mouselot, my younger boy, is more sociable and open to making new friends, although his grumpy older brother often puts a damper on his efforts. Because of my cats' unique personalities and needs, I've discovered a passion for caring for cats in their own homes. Whether it's providing company, playtime, or simply ensuring their comfort, I tailor my care to meet their individual requirements. My experience has taught me patience, understanding, and a deep respect for the unique bond between humans and felines. I couldn't imagine my life without these furry companions, and I look forward to continuing to enrich their lives as they enrich mine.
“Best cat sitter ever!! Our cats were well cared for while we were gone. Kylie sent pictures every day and several updates. Our cats were happy when we returned home. I highly recommend her!”

“Jasmine was amazing with my Precious. She kept me informed, arrived as expected, and spent so much time caring for my cat. She went beyond expectations on every visit. 100% the best sitter.”
About: I’ve had a cat since I can remember. My first cat Christopher looked like a Halloween cat all sleek black and skinny. I remember begging my parents to keep him. Since him I’ve had and fostered several over the years. I used to take care of my friends mean old Russian blue whenever her family went out of town and he never bothered me. Just had to know him and what he would do. I’m not scared of any of them and love hearing their happy purrs.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I was a kid! I currently have three dogs of my very own who I love more than anything. I’ve recently gained experience taking care of chickens and ducks as well! I can take care of pretty much any animal as long as I am comfortable doing so and shown what to do beforehand 😊 My schedule is currently very flexible. I’m good with set schedules as long as they fit my own, or just sporadic check ups! I am currently a stay at home mom during the day and have a part time job 3 nights a week. Please note that during the week I may bring my kids with me for walks or drop ins, but they will be in a car seat/stroller the entire time. 😊 I’ve recently decided to start doggy day care in my home! This will be up to my own discretion since I have two younger children in the home and three dogs as well, so I want to make sure all pets are a good fit!
About: I have an extensive understanding over dogs, cats, horses, exotics, and even the common goldfish all the way down to a medical understanding! (I’m in school to be a veterinary technician) Being raised on a farm I’ve been around just about every animal and feel that I’m extremely equipped for any situation that may arise. I have a large knowledge over geriatrics, high-low energy, overcoming anxiety and stressors, and even offer my own training exercises with every client. Not only do I love animals, but with my high energy and love for the outdoors and exploring, I feel that your pet will love me just the same! Seeing that I have my own two pups, I have rounded out a schedule for myself that leaves me very free for your pets needs! All I need is a message and I’ll be on the way! If your pet is more equipped for Long distance running or sniffing off leash, I have my family farm roughly 20 mins from Sedalia that I would be more than happy to take them to for a new experience! If your pup is more adapted to an in town walk around, I also have an apartment in downtown Sedalia and a perfected walking route that has been tested with my pooch! Being in Sedalia for a year now, we have also found some very nice enclosed doggy parks that we’ve come to love as well as other great places that no dogs can resist! With in house care, I am home almost 100% of the time so whether we are at my house or yours, time will be spent!

About: I’ve had a dog my whole life which that alone has helped me gain a ton of experience. Other than that I’ve done dog walking and sitting for neighbors, friends and family. I live in Columbia Mo and am there most of the time on the weekends. During the week I am in Warrensburg at college. I am a student athlete and I have about 3 hours of class a day. I am flexible with times so send me a message! Pets would be treated with care and love in my home and clients home. I would Following client’s request and instructions closely. Your pets will get tons of attention from me.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals (some were rescues and some came from the farm) and now share my home with two cats, so I know that every pet has their own personality. Over the years I’ve provided pet sitting for friends, family, and the military community, offering drop-ins, dog walks, and overnight care. I also volunteered as a foster for dogs and cats, including high-energy puppies and even a senior hospice dog. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs—including administering medications. With my nursing background, I bring patience, responsibility, and attention to detail, while my experience as a military spouse makes me adaptable and dependable. Most of all, I want pet parents to feel secure knowing their animals are safe, loved, and cared for while they’re away. I am currently a stay at home wife, supporting my husband in his military service. And that gives me free time to spend with our loving furr family members and provide the same care to other pets. My schedule is very flexible to help other families out. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’re welcome throughout the house, and depending on the owner’s preference, they may join us on the couch or bed. We have a fenced yard, and I provide potty breaks every 2–3 hours (or more if needed), with daily walks in the cooler morning and evening hours. New pets are introduced to my own cats slowly and safely, using baby gates and separate spaces if necessary. Anxious pets are given a quiet room of their own, puppies enjoy extra playtime, and seniors receive the gentle attention they deserve. I ask owners to share their pet’s daily routine and favorite items like beds, blankets, or toys, so they feel right at home. Every day, I send photos and videos to keep owners connected and reassured that their pets are safe, loved, and comfortable
“Ashley is great! Our dog, Arlo, is a 75lb, 8 month old puppy and while he is the goofiest, most loving guy...he can also be a pain in the butt sometimes. Ashley handled Arlo (and our home) with great care. She is reliable and has great communication. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and loving dog walker!”

About: I grew up with three dogs and trained them to do the basics. I love animals of all sizes, not just dogs. I don’t have much experience with other animals but would love to learn and be as much help as possible! I currently work a full time job however my hours have been cut to part time hours so my availability is pretty open. Unfortunately my job is not a set 9-5 Mon. through Fri. There is a mid sized dog park at my apartment complex however I cannot bring my animal inside my apartment. I can definitely travel to your home and take care of your animal is one long stay or visits. And I also love taking dogs on walks so that is no problem as well.
About: I’ve also had guinea pigs and rabbits and birds and goats. I love all animals and am happy to care for them no matter what shape or size. They all deserve love and attention and as long as I have solid instructions then I got it covered and they’ll feel like they’re my own babies. I’m currently unemployed. I’m getting certified to sell insurance and am home. I have two children in pre school and elementary school and the extra money would help a lot in this transitional period. I can happily come to your home and give your animals all the love they need. I’m in an apartment so coming to my home isn’t available currently but I can do check-ins or extended stays at your home depending on what you need.
About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.
About: I worked at Summit Pet Care for four years. I worked in the daycare, front desk, and kennels department. I have made valuable relationships with several clients. For those clients I have pet sat for them while they have been out of town. I have also walked many of their pups during a busy for them. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and the rest of the week make time to exercise my own dog. Along with getting online classes done for UCM.. I care for my pets by always getting them with a clam but happy energy. First thing I always do with any pup is take them outside making sure there are no accidents in the home. If I am just meeting the pup I always allow them time to get used to me and make sure I am a loving person.
