Ashlyn and her pets were fantastic with my sometimes-reactive dog. She listened to my cautious instructions and made sure my dog had a warm start-up to his week-long stay. Thank you!! Will be returning in the future :).

Our pups are our furkids, so we have been hesitant to leave them for too long. Generally they travel with us, but this trip did not allow that. Jennifer was easy to meet with and set us at ease. She kept us updated with photos and information. Dogs came home happy and tired. We'll plan to have them stay again for future travel that doesn't allow them to come along.

About: We have taken care of dogs most of our life. We’ve also became experts with senior dog care since ours has reached that stage. One is a diabetic so we understand the importance of medicine and a schedule. If your dog requires extra care, just let us know and we’ll make sure their given everything they need. Currently, we can offer service whenever you need it. We’ll be home all day to make sure your doggie gets all the attention they need to make their time away from you less stressful. We have a fenced in backyard to keep your fur baby safe, along with three other dogs to keep them company. If needed, we do have a crate that your dog can utilize while here.

Mikala was amazing and anytime I need an overnight sitter she is the first person I will call on. My Gypsy was so taken care of over the thanksgiving holiday. I received regular pictures and updates with a smiling puppy with her new friends. A special thanks to Mikala and her husband for helping me with our puppy drop off as I was hospitalized a few hours after our meet and greet and wasn’t able to meet personally. That meant so much to me that these sweet people went out of their way to help me. I would absolutely recommend Mikala for any service with Rover. The apitamy of a puppy mom and no doubt your fur babies will be in good hands with Mikala.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and enjoy spoiling them. I have two dogs and a chinchilla. We’ve previously owned cats as well but don’t have any in the home currently. I work Monday through Friday and have holidays off, which gives me plenty of time to spend with our pups. When I’m not working, I love playing, cuddling, and making sure they feel loved and spoiled. I would love the opportunity to welcome your pups into our home, give them lots of attention, and make them feel like part of the family. We have a large, fenced-in backyard where dogs have plenty of space to run, play, and explore. The yard is enclosed with a 5-foot chain-link fence to help keep everyone safe, including our dog Pepper, who loves to jump. We’re located in a quiet subdivision outside of town, away from busy highways, allowing us to provide a peaceful and secure environment for your pups to enjoy.

About: Booking with me allows for your dog to get a well rounded experience that will keep them comfortable while also providing fun and healthy experiences for them! I live on a 40 acre farm that has many trails, animals, and senes that keep your dog happy, safe, and busy! I also have studied k9 behavior and know how to provide your dog socialization and stimulation! I am currently a student at a local college where I play basketball! This allows me to be home in between classes and practices unlike somebody with a full time job. I can provide potty brakes every 2-4 hours as well as walks and play time! I have loved animals since I can remember! Making sure they are happy and well cared for is a must! I will treat your pet as my own and I understand your pet is not just an animal but rather a member of your family! Ensuring they are treated as such is important to me. Fresh water, attention, play time, cuddles, and more are very important to me. I also understand you need updates! Pictures and frequent communication between me and you is also important to me!

About: My financee, Garrett, and I have cared for the wellbeing of several types of dogs since we were children. We live together, but it will primarily be me who is home with the dogs and if you need help in your home, it will always be me you will speak too. We have two fur babies together and would love to help you care for yours! I work 3 minutes from home and can usually return with in a few hours on days when I have to go to the office, which is fairly rare. I do work a 9-5, but I work hybrid remote. I have a fully privacy fenced in back yard. I let my own dogs out every 3-5 hours for the bathroom, as they are grown and do not need let out much, but I am able to accomodate any bathroom schedule necessary. I am able to keep a meds and feeding schedule as well as an exercise schedule easily with my job flexabilty. Our dogs sleep with us and eat twice a day. We keep a clean, happy home and love to let our dogs out back to run and play often! In the evenings, my fiancee and I can walk your dog or dogs with our own babies as we have multiple leashes with dual or multi-capacity.

About: Hello, I currently have a work-from-home job. I have two amazing fur babies, Milo (Augi) and Mila (Corgi). Milo is 10 years old, and Mila is 6 years old. They are great with other dogs. Milo is very social and always wants to make new friends. Mila can be social but is mostly attached to my side. I am great with dogs and would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies. I do work from home and I am unable to visit during the day, but in the evenings, I am available for visits, walks, scratches, and snoot boops if needed. I have a huge backyard that my kiddos (dogs) love to play in. It is fenced in and secure. If they misbehave, which is rare, I never say "bad boy/girl". I use words like "That was not a good boy/girl." My family calls me a millennial parent as I use positive words/phrases when disciplining. They are crate-trained and do love their kennel. I have a large kennel if needed for a safe space.

About: I volunteered at CARE which is a no kill pet shelter for cats and dogs in 2014 and recently started volunteering at this place again, February 2018. My duties included feeding and making sure the animals had enough water. Cleaned out kennels and cages and would take the dogs outside and walk them. I have had dogs and cats since I was born and currently had a dog who loved being around other cats and dogs. She loved to play with animals as well and loved children. Her name was Daisy she is in my profile pic with me. Daisy was euthanized on September 1st, 2023. I now have another dog whose name is Emma. She’s a year old and as long as it’s ok with a client I bring her to pet sitting jobs. She loves other animals including cats and loves to play. She’s lovable and affectionate and loves attention. I also have a cat and her name is Maizy. She is four years old and I got her when she was almost 4 weeks old. I would take Daisy for walks and if I could take her with me to other places I did. One of the places I took her was to the pet store. I no longer wear a mask unless I have to. If you prefer for me to wear one please let me know and I will wear one. I use to work at a job which required me to work a 10 hour shift. I am now working at a full time job which has 8 hour shifts. I can work around my schedule if needed. My supervisor does work with me on switching my days around if needed. I can’t keep your pet in my apartment due to rules and restrictions but I can come to your home. I will provide my own food and necessities.

About: I have had dogs and a couple cats, I would say that I am fairly knowledgeable about typical animal behavior. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Owned horses and have been around an assortment of other animals throughout my life. Currently work full-time but I am about to not be working full time and would like to do dog walking/hiking and such full-time. I will be available throughout the week at anytime of day. Hoping to allow dog sitting at some point in the future for clients as well. I have a fenced back yard and give them ample exercise. I have learned that biking is one of the best things for a dog, especially high energy dogs but also any dog really. They get lots of petting and one on one playing throughout the day as well.

I will do my best to learn your routine, their quirks, and make them as comfortable as possible and maintain your routine as I do with my own dog!

About: I’m a dedicated cat lover with three kitties of my own, so I truly understand all the little quirks that make each cat unique, from playful zoomies to quiet, independent vibes. I have hands on experience with medication administration, post-surgical care, and even bottle feeding kittens, which has taught me a lot of patience, gentleness, and attention to detail. I’m comfortable keeping litter boxes fresh and creating a clean, cozy, low-stress environment your cat will feel safe in. I’ve also leash-walked cats for some safe outdoor exploring, so I’m open to working with both curious adventurers and homebody snugglers. I pay so much attention to each cat’s personality; I’ll match their energy, whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them their space while still making sure they feel cared for and loved.

Levi has done a wonderful job watching Bruno while I am at work. Bruno was nervous in his first week but now is really excited to get to go see Levi and his two pups Mushu and Buddy each day and comes home exhausted from having such a good time. Thank you Levi!

First time ever leaving my fur babies with a stranger, and I am happy I chose the right person to do so. Courtney and her kids were incredibly helpful and took great care of my 10-year-old Boxer and 13-year-old Plott Hound. They made sure both dogs felt comfortable and at ease. Their home was clean and welcoming, and the kids and toys kept my dogs happy and entertained the whole time. Definitely would go back to Courtney if I am in town again!

Currently, we can offer service whenever you need it. We’ll be home all day to make sure your doggie gets all the attention they need to make their time away from you less stressful. We have a fenced in backyard to keep your fur baby safe, along with three other dogs to keep them company. If needed, we do have a crate that your dog can utilize while here.

About: I grew up with dogs, helping my parents raise English and French bulldogs for 10 years in our family kennel, which was USDA certified. I've always had at least two dogs in the house (plus the 32 we owned in the kennel!) and I now have two dogs of my own (ages 13 and 3) at home with my husband. I have been raising/house training dogs almost my entire life and I love them to pieces! I am experienced with dogs of all ages and sizes, and I love going on walks with them and playing with them. I am a stay at home mom, so I am almost always available, with the exception of Sundays between 10 am and 3 pm. Please drop off for a boarding stay or schedule a drop-in/dog walk time either before or after those times on Sundays. I am available for meet and greets every weekend and every weeknight after 5pm! I can't wait to love on your pup! I currently work from home on a flexible schedule: I can do drop-ins before 7:30am, on my lunch break at noon and after 5pm, and I'm available for drop off any time during the day if you let me know in advance. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs who have separate sleeping spaces. All dogs eat in their crates (please bring a crate for boarding) and sleep in them at night with the exception of our shepsky who sleeps in our bedroom. Dogs can all be separated or together as needed and are free to go outside all day every day through the dog door.

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have spent most of my life caring for and training them. My experience includes breeds such as American Staffordshire Terriers, Cane Corsos, and Pit Bulls, as well as many other types of dogs. I also fostered 12 dogs through the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri, working with a wide range of breeds including Mastiffs, Huskies, Heelers, and Terriers. Through fostering, I’ve helped dogs recovering from hip surgeries, heartworm treatment, and other medical needs, while also learning how to adapt to different personalities, energy levels, and care requirements. Over the years, this experience has strengthened my ability to help all dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I'm available to board during the weekdays a majority of the time and sometimes weekends depending on availability. I'd be with your pet all day unless a quick grocery run or other short side quest. I have a fenced yard of about 0.40 acres, providing plenty of space for dogs to run and burn energy. My neighbor also has dogs, allowing for possible socialization if appropriate. I also have an XL crate available if needed, ensuring a safe and comfortable space for any dog. Otherwise, they would be with me playing and relaxing, if requested I can also walk with them and take them to some parks!

Bree did a great job with my two needy dogs. We were in the midst of moving and with doors open, movers in and out, and Hoodini living again in the form of a dog, it was best they be some place more peaceful and secure. The second day there were excited to be out the door and off to the car to see Bree! They sat quietly most of the day watching doggy TV, which is what they needed. The dogs obviously liked her, even our shy reluctant one. I definitely taking them to her again! She knew they needed peace and quiet and gave them that.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I have owned and care for many dogs. From puppies to seniors. Dogs are very special to me and I would do anything for the dogs in my care. I currently work part time. Typically I'm off at 1pm every day. So I would be more than willing to care for your pet any time after that and all day on my off days. I would make sure that all doors and fences stayed closed unless exiting from them. Dogs would always have fresh water and food. With feeding instructions from parents. I would always make sure dogs are happy and healthy. As a healthy pup makes for a great day.

I have experience caring for many different kinds of animals including dogs, cats, birds, fish, bunnies and hamsters. I have a deep love for all animals and I strive to care for any pet to the best of my ability. I believe it is very important to put my all into caring for any animal. I make it a point to make sure they are getting enough exercise, nutrients, clean water and love. The care I provide to all pets is nothing but the best. I might not be able to stay with them at all times but I will make sure that they are checked on multiple times every day to ensure that they have all the necessities. I love taking dogs for walks and find it very important to make sure any animal has some activity in their day.

About: I have lifelong, hands on experience caring for animals and specialize in supporting pets through every stage of life. I currently have a puppy (toy Aussiedoodle), so I’m actively experienced in potty training and reinforcing foundational commands like sit, stay, and come with consistency and patience. I also have extensive experience with senior dogs. I cared for my own from age 3 through 17, which gave me a deep understanding of advanced care needs such as medication administration, bathing, mobility support, doggy diaper care, and hand-feeding. I’m comfortable navigating the sensitivities that can come with new people and aging, including moments of discomfort or food related aggression, and always handle pets with a calm, patient approach. I currently care for two dogs and three cats, which keeps me very in tune with different temperaments, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to read animal behavior, adjust my care style accordingly, and provide steady, patient, and attentive care that helps pets feel safe and loved. My friends and family always call me for pet sitting needs due to my loving and bubbly personality and strong passion and dedication for animals. Pet care fits into my routine very naturally and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. At the moment, I have open availability 7 days a week, which allows me to be flexible and responsive for visits, walks, or other activities. I am currently in the process of interviewing for part-time positions, but I remain committed to prioritizing pet care and can easily accommodate visits before or after work shifts. I’m very flexible and happy to work around what’s best for each pet’s routine. I provide care in a calm, attentive, and safety-focused way that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. When I’m in a client’s home, I always follow their routines closely so pets can stay in their familiar environment with minimal stress. I pay close attention to instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. I also take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace—whether that means a gentle introduction, giving them space if they’re shy, or engaging with play and affection once they’re comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while keeping owners fully informed and at ease throughout the visit. I also have two dogs of my own if your fur baby is ever needing a friend. 💛

Our pups are our furkids, so we have been hesitant to leave them for too long. Generally they travel with us, but this trip did not allow that. Jennifer was easy to meet with and set us at ease.

Mikala was amazing and anytime I need an overnight sitter she is the first person I will call on. My Gypsy was so taken care of over the thanksgiving holiday. I received regular pictures and updates with a smiling puppy with her new friends. A special thanks to Mikala and her husband for helping me with our puppy drop off as I was hospitalized a few hours after our meet and greet and wasn’t able to meet personally. That meant so much to me that these sweet people went out of their way to help me. I would absolutely recommend Mikala for any service with Rover.

Nancy and Kevin took such sweet care of our fur baby Honey. She was completely spoiled! They fed my picky eater off of their dinner plate and hand fed her. Nancy provided a photo library daily. We missed her so much, but had complete Confidence in her care.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and enjoy spoiling them. I have two dogs and a chinchilla. We’ve previously owned cats as well but don’t have any in the home currently. I work Monday through Friday and have holidays off, which gives me plenty of time to spend with our pups. When I’m not working, I love playing, cuddling, and making sure they feel loved and spoiled. I would love the opportunity to welcome your pups into our home, give them lots of attention, and make them feel like part of the family. We have a large, fenced-in backyard where dogs have plenty of space to run, play, and explore. The yard is enclosed with a 5-foot chain-link fence to help keep everyone safe, including our dog Pepper, who loves to jump. We’re located in a quiet subdivision outside of town, away from busy highways, allowing us to provide a peaceful and secure environment for your pups to enjoy.

Our dog Ruger had the best week ever! Tyler was an excellent communicator and sent us lots of updates, pictures, and videos throughout the stay. Ruger and Tyler’s dog played nonstop and had a fantastic time together. We would highly recommend Tyler — he is a very responsible young man. We will definitely book with him again!

About: Booking with me allows for your dog to get a well rounded experience that will keep them comfortable while also providing fun and healthy experiences for them! I live on a 40 acre farm that has many trails, animals, and senes that keep your dog happy, safe, and busy! I also have studied k9 behavior and know how to provide your dog socialization and stimulation! I am currently a student at a local college where I play basketball! This allows me to be home in between classes and practices unlike somebody with a full time job. I can provide potty brakes every 2-4 hours as well as walks and play time! I have loved animals since I can remember! Making sure they are happy and well cared for is a must! I will treat your pet as my own and I understand your pet is not just an animal but rather a member of your family! Ensuring they are treated as such is important to me. Fresh water, attention, play time, cuddles, and more are very important to me. I also understand you need updates! Pictures and frequent communication between me and you is also important to me!

About: My financee, Garrett, and I have cared for the wellbeing of several types of dogs since we were children. We live together, but it will primarily be me who is home with the dogs and if you need help in your home, it will always be me you will speak too. We have two fur babies together and would love to help you care for yours! I work 3 minutes from home and can usually return with in a few hours on days when I have to go to the office, which is fairly rare. I do work a 9-5, but I work hybrid remote. I have a fully privacy fenced in back yard. I let my own dogs out every 3-5 hours for the bathroom, as they are grown and do not need let out much, but I am able to accomodate any bathroom schedule necessary. I am able to keep a meds and feeding schedule as well as an exercise schedule easily with my job flexabilty. Our dogs sleep with us and eat twice a day. We keep a clean, happy home and love to let our dogs out back to run and play often! In the evenings, my fiancee and I can walk your dog or dogs with our own babies as we have multiple leashes with dual or multi-capacity.

About: From growing up with dogs to living and working at a mastiff rescue, and now sharing a life with my goofy, sweet blue heeler, Simone, my love for and experience with dogs runs deep. As a good friend once said, dogs can’t lie, and we can’t lie to them. Building trust is my first priority. I have a flexible work schedule with lots of daytime availability and am often available for overnights with notice. Weekdays and weekends open for scheduling. I have a large, fenced yard and a dog door in and out of the house with the option to close-off if necessary. I have one dog who loves new friends and sharing her toys.

About: I’m an animal science major with lots of different animal experience! I foster with local shelters, extern at a local veterinary office, and pride myself in research/care I’ve taken with my own animals and others. I’m currently a full time student MSU. Most of my classes are first thing in the morning, then I’m available for the rest of the day. I have a completely fenced 1 acre yard with 3 personal dogs who are completely used to new interesting dogs from previous fosters. I kennel all of my dogs and all meals are given separated. No animal in my house is left alone together unsupervised.

About: Hello, I currently have a work-from-home job. I have two amazing fur babies, Milo (Augi) and Mila (Corgi). Milo is 10 years old, and Mila is 6 years old. They are great with other dogs. Milo is very social and always wants to make new friends. Mila can be social but is mostly attached to my side. I am great with dogs and would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies. I do work from home and I am unable to visit during the day, but in the evenings, I am available for visits, walks, scratches, and snoot boops if needed. I have a huge backyard that my kiddos (dogs) love to play in. It is fenced in and secure. If they misbehave, which is rare, I never say "bad boy/girl". I use words like "That was not a good boy/girl." My family calls me a millennial parent as I use positive words/phrases when disciplining. They are crate-trained and do love their kennel. I have a large kennel if needed for a safe space.

About: I grew up on a farm so naturally, I love animals. I've always been around dogs, cats, and livestock. I currently have a dog and cat of my own, so I'm always researching to better understand body language, vocalizations, breed specific traits, and positive reinforcement techniques that help me strengthen the bond between me and the animal. I also have volunteer experience. I started my first pet sitting job when I was 12 for my neighbors who were big travelers. Since then, I've fallen in love with the idea of getting paid to play with animals. I'm very thankful and passionate about what I do! I have another job which I pick my own schedule for around my Rover bookings, so my availability is always completely open. I'm flexible enough to accept same day bookings. I've grown up with pets of all personalities. My parents have always called me the animal whisperer of the family. I love learning about how their brains work. I understand their wants and needs and I respect their boundaries and quirks, which is why I think pets are so drawn to me.

About: I’ve had my own dog for the past two years and personally potty trained her, taught her tricks, and trained her to be comfortable and well-behaved around people. I also worked in child care for two years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to care for others with attention and love. I treat every dog with the same care and protection I would give a one-year-old baby, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. I’m available Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day, and Wednesday from 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM. I’m flexible during those times and happy to work with your pet’s routine. I create a safe, calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. I treat every dog like family and make sure they get plenty of attention and supervision.

About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have spent most of my life caring for and training them. My experience includes breeds such as American Staffordshire Terriers, Cane Corsos, and Pit Bulls, as well as many other types of dogs. I also fostered 12 dogs through the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri, working with a wide range of breeds including Mastiffs, Huskies, Heelers, and Terriers. Through fostering, I’ve helped dogs recovering from hip surgeries, heartworm treatment, and other medical needs, while also learning how to adapt to different personalities, energy levels, and care requirements. Over the years, this experience has strengthened my ability to help all dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I'm available to board during the weekdays a majority of the time and sometimes weekends depending on availability. I'd be with your pet all day unless a quick grocery run or other short side quest. I have a fenced yard of about 0.40 acres, providing plenty of space for dogs to run and burn energy. My neighbor also has dogs, allowing for possible socialization if appropriate. I also have an XL crate available if needed, ensuring a safe and comfortable space for any dog. Otherwise, they would be with me playing and relaxing, if requested I can also walk with them and take them to some parks!

Bree is very knowledgeable about dogs. She’s patient with my big, untrained boy! He’s very happy when I pick him up. She sends pictures and updates, which I appreciate.
