Personalized care for your dog or cat - Guthrie
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Guthrie
“I loved that she sent pictures and videos. Skylar has some separation anxiety but warms up after a couple days. This wasn't a long trip for us so she was warming up on the last day!!”
“Lisa is the BEST! We left our 7 month old chocolate lab puppy with her for the first time while we went on vacation. He had a great time! Lisa is the sweetest and had no issues with watching an energetic, crazy puppy. She sent lots of updates and photos, and was always available if I needed her. I would 100% recommend her. Moose already is looking forward to going back!”
“Victoria was friendly and excited to watch our little man. She shared a lot of photos and updates with us over the weekend to make us feel secure that our pup was being taken care of. Bear had a great time at her home and I will gladly take him back!”
“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.”
“Omg!! Margaret was heaven sent! Our cousin didn’t answer his door to get our pup just 4 1/2 short hours before our flight boarded out of Stl. I ran to Rover and begged for a last minute board. Margaret graciously accepted Teddy into her home and took such good care of him. She was very communicative and kept me informed of how he was doing over this 3 day stay. Our flights were delayed by over 12 hours she was very flexible and allowed him to stay an extra day with no problem. If you are seeking a communicative, kind, nurturing and flexible board, I 10/10 recommend her!”
“Best dog sitting experience we have had so far! Sabine is professional, friendly, and very caring. From the reservation to the time we came back to pick up Argos, we were greeted with smiles and vibrant energy. She introduced Argos to other dogs very professionally and demonstrated outstanding positive reinforcement skills. During Argos stay, she took Argos for long walks and swim by a river and let the dogs roll over mud (as seen in the videos) She sent us videos of every step Argos took, from his interactions to other dogs, the good times they had, and even their bedtime. We highly recommend Sabine and will see her again! Having a reliable dog sitter is a blessing. Thank you Sabine.”
“I really appreciated Jennifer's flexibility with pick up and drop off. Zorro loved his time there. He got to play with Jennifer's other dogs and because Jennifer has children he played with a child which Zorro absolutely loves since he doesn't interact with children much. She has a backyard which was a great plus!”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“Haley was amazing with our pups over our weekend away. She sent picture updates often, and when we picked up our pups, we could tell they had been loved on the whole time. Haley’s own dogs were also very sweet with our girls, despite the big size difference. You can tell how much she and her husband love dogs! We will absolutely reach back out to Haley.”
“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!”
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Stephanie. With my crazy schedule, it is so wonderful knowing my girl is safe and incredibly well cared for in her hands. She goes above and beyond treating and loving her like her own. The picture updates, walks and play time with her 3 pups is very appreciated. I would highly recommend!”
“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!!”
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.
“Catlyn was truly amazing! She is so attentive, sends plenty of pictures, and followed my tedious care instructions! Could not recommend her enough! Also has two of the cutest fur babes of her own! 10/10 would recommend and use her again!”
“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!”
“Mary did a great job for us today. The couple we usually use to board our boy, Dobby, was unavailable to help us today. Mary stepped up and took great care of Dobby. She picked him up and dropped him off for us. Wonderful service. Dobby seemed to enjoy his time being boarded with Mary. We will use Mary again, as we may need.”

“Samantha and Jesse did an excellent job of caring for our cat during a long trip we took over the holidays. They were very attentive and kept us updated with pictures and information. Our cat was well cared for and they brought in packages we received while we were gone. I would definitely book again.”
“I highly recommend Ashley. She was phenomenal throughout the whole experience. She provides thorough updates, she was amazing with my kitten, and it is quite clear that she truly loves being a caring sitter. I truly believe she is one of the best in the area.”
“She made us feel at ease using Rover for the first time. The cats absolutely loved her based on the pictures we received of their time together. She also went above and beyond and fed our fish! We highly recommend her.”
“We are very thankful we had Elizabeth care for our cats. All of their needs were met, our special requests honored and the cats were calm and happy when we returned. We will absolutely ask for her services again in the future.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was little. There was always at least one dog in my home at all times. I love dogs! Right now my schedule a little flexible for drop ins, walks and other dog needs. Boarding can also be considered. Prefer nothing after 8pm but will make exceptions. I currently take my dogs out in the yard on a leash and walks in the neighborhood. I'm open to whatever your dog may need.
“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.”
“Konnor patiently waited through a delay the office had to let him into the building. He looked after Finn as good as any could expect and protected our dog’s needs as an anxious dog.”
About: I am very dependable and have lots of experience pet sitting. I have watched dogs with disabilities and health issues. I am trust worthy and love animals. I graduated William Woods University with an equestrian Science degree and have experience with all types of animals. I have my own transportation and am willing to stay over night. I am willing to do anything for your pet such as walking bathing and other things. I love to stay organized and keep things clean. You will never have to worry about your pets with me as I will spend a lot of time with them and make sure you feel comfortable with me taking care of them. Please consider me as your next pet sitter I promise to take the best care of your animals.
“Ashley is a great pet sitter. She watched our older cat and gave him his medicine every day and lots of lap time. She met with us in advance to discuss all the needs. Highly recommend!”
“Hailea did a great job with our kitties. One of our kitties loves attention and she was sure to offer it. The other was not as kind and Hailea respected his personal space. She sent photos of both kitties and shared their temperament during her visits. We don't go out of town often, but when we do, we will be requesting her again!”
About: I think that life is about being happy and animals of all shapes and sizes make me happy! I have had multiple pets all of my life, from bearded dragons and snails to cats and dogs but now I have settled with my older toy rat terrier pup and my fat orange cat! I was able to achieve my pet first aid certification through the American Red Cross but it since expired (they are valid for one year) but I thought it was worth mentioning that I have been trained. I work in Columbia M-F but live in Holts Summit, MO. I am willing to work in Columbia, Jefferson City or Holts Summit. I’m working full time but can do check-ins/walks during my lunch break, before 8am or after 5pm on weekdays. Weekends are much more flexible as I don’t work on Saturdays or Sundays. I am comfortable with crate training and of course fenced in yards are great! I have no issues with walking pups on a leash. I live in Holts Summit where we have a leash law so leash and a decent harness would be required for stays with me. I have a huge yard to walk them around in!
About: Cats have always been my favorite pet to own. Having one ever since I can remember. Cleaning litter boxes and any cat mess is part of my system. Owning two cats of my own. I can provide a couple of toys to bring, or play using your toys. Feeding and watering the cat. Any special requirement is never too big to keep the cat happy as can be. Even if the cat can be grumpy, I’m patient and won’t make the cat uncomfortable or more upset.
“Once again, Whitney has been exactly what our kitties needed while we were away. She is prompt, spends time loving on our pets and makes sure all of their needs are met. We can tell by the photos that our cats feel safe with her. We are grateful to have such a wonderful sitter. Highly recommend.”
“Tanya was the best! This was my first time leaving my dog Murphy in quite some time, so just like any dog "parent", I was worried. After two days of being away on a seven-day trip, my worries were eased. Tanya communicated and wrote detailed rover cards each day and sent photos of Murphy which we really appreciated. On the days that had terrible thunderstorms, she spent extra time with him and gave Murphy lots of attention. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi! I have many years of experience with pets of all kinds. My family and I have had all kinds of animals from chickens, dogs, cats, horses, and donkeys. I currently have a 7 month old puppy and a 2 year old cat. I would love to help out with your pet!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, always thought about being a vet but it never happened. I am in the medical field, I just help humans instead. I believe dogs are the most loyal animal you could have I your home. The love they give is unmatched, no judgment on us humans, they love us unconditionally. I’m currently not working due to the pandemic, I’m home all day taking care of my dog. I have time for your fur baby all day. I have a house with a fenced yard. I live in a great area as well. I have a fenced yard that’s a decent size. I let my dog out several times a day, sometimes we take car rides. I rarely use a kennel but if your pet is not house trained or can get destructive, I would recommend you bring a crate in the event I have to run to the store or something.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Guthrie
“This was our first time using Rover. I'm so glad we chose Samantha and Jesse to take care of Buddy Bear while we were at our son's Senior Day. They sent pictures and communicated when necessary. Scheduling and pick up and drop off were a breeze. I'd definitely recommend them if you are looking for someone in the Jefferson City area. Thanks Samantha and Jesse!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Christine, and her dog Daisy, make Fawn's day each Tuesday. Fawn loves going there and absolutely goes bonkers when we pull up to their house. But today, Christine went above and beyond for me. My car told me I had a low tire. And it was really low. I told her my husband would be there to air it up. She jumped in and got an air compressor from her garage and aired my tire. I was able to get home safely and my husband did not have to drive in to do that for me. I highly recommend Christine if you are looking for play dates for your pup. And Daisy loves having friends over.”
“Shannon was very patient and accommodating while we tried to figure out if we would need her or not. And I'm confident our little Lily was in good hands with her. Had a very positive, easy experience...highly recommend Shannon!”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“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!!”
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: 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: Ive taken care of both my own families animals for years, along with friends and families pets. I grew up with dogs of all sizes, from a teacup chihuahua to an adult husky. This also includes mostly periods of having multiple dogs. I also grew up with cats, usually in pairs. I myself have owned small birds, along with a leopard gecko. I’ve done sitting work for more relaxed animals, but also more agressive or high maintenance ones. I myself currently own a young black cat named Nordly! I currently work as High School wrestling coach, so I am flexible for the most part except for saturdays (through february) where I am gone for 6-8 hours. I will always try to accommodate to the needs of the specific pet or pets. If it’s a shy cat who just needs some food and alone time, awesome I’ll keep my distance! A needy attention seeking dog? I would love to give all my attention and energy! I’m used to a routine for dogs and cats, and daily cleanings of their areas. As long as we can communicate what your pet needs, I’ll make it happen.

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:)

“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 am a firm believer in adjusting my attitude to meet an animal’s personality and needs. I have years of experience living with numerous pets as well as taking care of my family’s babies. I have the flexibility to be calm and collected, sweet and gentle, or playful and active depending on what your pet acts like and is okay with.

No matter what service is provided I strive to keep a safe, clean (if applicable), and mellow environment for your pets. I pride myself in my strengths with truly understanding and caring for every animal I meet, no matter the circumstance. Everything I do I will have your pet in mind.

About: Hello! I have had all kinds of pets growing up. I have always had at least a dog and a cat. Currently i personally have a 7 month old puppy and a 2 year old cat. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for about two years now. I would love to meet your furry friend! I currently am working 4 days a week but am free after work and my days off. My days off are Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. I will be attending school starting in November so my schedule will change then. I currently have a 7 month old puppy and a two year old cat, but have always had a pet so I have taken care of pets of all ages and breeds. My friends and family all have varying breeds and ages of dogs and I am comfortable with all of them! I always make sure to spend a good amount of time with them.
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. I have lots of experience with many ages and levels of trainings of animals I have watched for friends. I am always up for a challenge and I am confident in taking care of your animals.
“Jennifer did an excellent job with Janky! Janky is pretty shy and hesitant about being around new people, but she warmed up to Jennifer very quickly. I was very happy with Jennifer and the updates I received from their walks. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who is hesitant about using Rover - she’s excellent and you won’t regret choosing her to care for your pet.”
About: I took a very active role in caring for my family dog until he tragically passed from cancer in 2019. I have also dog-sat for neighbors’ pets with particular dietary needs. Currently, I’ve been told by roommates that I have a very calming presence with our house dog. I work part time primarily in the evenings and when not working, I often have community theater rehearsals on weeknights. During the Mizzou school year I will have some classes during the day, though for no more than a few hours at a time. My current house is not available for pet boarding unless specifically negotiated. The property has a non-fenced yard and one resident dog, who does behave well with other animals. Neighborhood is safe, well-paved, and walkable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, always thought about being a vet but it never happened. I am in the medical field, I just help humans instead. I believe dogs are the most loyal animal you could have I your home. The love they give is unmatched, no judgment on us humans, they love us unconditionally. I’m currently not working due to the pandemic, I’m home all day taking care of my dog. I have time for your fur baby all day. I have a house with a fenced yard. I live in a great area as well.

About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes schedule is pretty full so it might be harder for me to be at your house during the week day but my weekends are typically open and we might be able to work out a schedule for the weekdays! I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.
About: I have grown up with Dogs and Cats my whole life. I have also pet/house sat for family and friends through middle school, high school and now college. I have/had many dogs and cats who have been/are massive parts of our family. 4 German Shepherds, Apache, Zoom, Ranger and Camo. 1 Husky Cherokee and 2 Australian Shepherds Banjo and Max. I have taken pride in self training my dogs to be good K-9 citizens. Ex: “Sit”, “Waite”, “Down”, “Leave it” and not jumping. Some of my favorite activities with dogs are walking/running, brushing/baths, playing with toys/wrestling, snuggles, driving around and a snack never hurt anyone! :) As for cats I’ve had/have 4 (Dizzy, Yoyo, Bast and now Tiffany!) My favorite activities with kitties are playing with the string toy, brushing, giving treats and snuggling while reading/watching Tv/doing Homework. Of course I love watching them get the zooms! :) I am a full time college student with MIZZOU Army ROTC. During the summers I’m available most days/nights and weekends. As for the school year I’m pretty open as well. We will have to communicate and see what works best for everyone at that time. I was raised to hold myself to high standards and values some of these values are summed up best by the Army values, Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selflessness Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage. I believe you need all of these to not only be the best version of yourself but pull the best out of others, person or paw. I care for my pets by making them an important part of my life! I love to be active and take my dog on runs/walks and play. As for my cat when I’m doing Homework or relaxing after a long day she likes to snuggle me or play with her toys. My pets are my family, team and life. I keep them safe by keeping them in active parts of my life, researching the food they eat and have a great relationship with there vet!
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: Pets have been a part of my life ever since I can remember, and their welfare is of utmost importance to me. From farm animals to domestic animals, I treat your best friends as I would treat my own. Experienced in senior care and puppy care as well as cats and feral cats. Have volunteered at a shelter with bathing, walking, and cleaning kennels as well as boarding dogs for friends. My availability is open depending on your needs and logistics for dog walking and drop ins. Prefer if walking the dog in the community earlier morning hours or later afternoon hours to avoid the heat. For dropping by, anytime of the day can work. I service the Eldon, Missouri, area to the eastside of Jefferson City, Missouri. Trips to the Taos, Missouri, dog park can be arranged. When caring for pets in your home, I abide by your rules and wishes and what your companion feels safe and comfortable with. Glad to send pictures!

“Lisa is the BEST! We left our 7 month old chocolate lab puppy with her for the first time while we went on vacation. He had a great time! Lisa is the sweetest and had no issues with watching an energetic, crazy puppy. She sent lots of updates and photos, and was always available if I needed her. I would 100% recommend her. Moose already is looking forward to going back!”
“Victoria was friendly and excited to watch our little man. She shared a lot of photos and updates with us over the weekend to make us feel secure that our pup was being taken care of. Bear had a great time at her home and I will gladly take him back!”
“Best dog sitting experience we have had so far! Sabine is professional, friendly, and very caring. From the reservation to the time we came back to pick up Argos, we were greeted with smiles and vibrant energy. She introduced Argos to other dogs very professionally and demonstrated outstanding positive reinforcement skills. During Argos stay, she took Argos for long walks and swim by a river and let the dogs roll over mud (as seen in the videos) She sent us videos of every step Argos took, from his interactions to other dogs, the good times they had, and even their bedtime. We highly recommend Sabine and will see her again! Having a reliable dog sitter is a blessing. Thank you Sabine.”
“I really appreciated Jennifer's flexibility with pick up and drop off. Zorro loved his time there. He got to play with Jennifer's other dogs and because Jennifer has children he played with a child which Zorro absolutely loves since he doesn't interact with children much. She has a backyard which was a great plus!”
“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!”
“Haley was amazing with our pups over our weekend away. She sent picture updates often, and when we picked up our pups, we could tell they had been loved on the whole time. Haley’s own dogs were also very sweet with our girls, despite the big size difference. You can tell how much she and her husband love dogs! We will absolutely reach back out to Haley.”
“Samantha was great at communicating and taking pictures while we were gone. She spent extra time comforting Pilgrim during the 4th of July celebrations. Would definitely use again!”
“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!”
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Stephanie. With my crazy schedule, it is so wonderful knowing my girl is safe and incredibly well cared for in her hands. She goes above and beyond treating and loving her like her own. The picture updates, walks and play time with her 3 pups is very appreciated. I would highly recommend!”
“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!!”

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! :)
“Haley is fantastic. Our dog, a 50 lb 8 month old standard poodle, was well taken care of. The setup at her house is great for large dogs and she clearly cares a lot about those in her care.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, puppies, and senior dogs since I was 5! We are a dog loving family looking forward to loving on new friends! I am currently a stay at home mom with great flexibility and I have 4 kids from 10-17 who also loving caring for dogs and animals. We have an invisible fenced yard, lots of paths for walking, lots of extra toys, plenty of treats, and a large yard for them to play with our senior pup.
“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!”
“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!”
