“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Victoria and her pup Artemis were very welcoming and kind. She sent daily updates and was very responsive to texts. I am confident our pup was well taken care of!”
“My daughter is a freshman at Mizzou and wanted to see her pup. (We live in Minnesota) Jennifer took Duke with minimal notice. I appreciated the pictures she sent. Duke was tired when he got home, so I know he had fun with Jennifer. We would definitely have Duke stay with her again next time we are in town!”
“My doggie had the BEST time! They texted, sent pictures, and kept me updated! They were so chill and just absolutely amazing! Seriously won’t leave my pup with anyone else!”
“I feel like Amanda was welcoming for my dog Daphne. She allowed us to meet her and Frankie prior to dropping Daphne off for the first time. She texted back promptly every time I enquired about my dog. She was also very accommodating with the drop off and pick up time and she commented on how well behaved and sweet Daphne is. I would recommend Amanda's services and I will not hesitate to leave my fur baby with her again. ”
“Mindy was very helpful by coming to visit Scooter ahead of time, a couple weeks before he went to stay with her. They made a connection right away, as she seems to have a way with dogs. She sent pictures of Scooter while he stayed with her, which was reassuring. And she offered to bring him back to our house after we returned home, which was very helpful.”
“Mooncake always has the best time with Stephanie, Kyle, and their sweet dogs! Stephanie sends frequent and thoughtful updates with wonderful photos and videos throughout the day, which I always appreciate. Mooncake is so happy and comfortable with them that he rarely wants to leave—he always tries to sneak in a few extra snuggles with Stephanie at the door. I'm so grateful for the care they give him!”
“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!!”
“Franklin had a good time with Cat & her family. He has mild separation anxiety and I was very happy to see how well he settled in via the pictures Cat provided. He was treated like a member of the family. Couldn’t be happier. Definitely will be a repeat customer!”
“My dog, Biggie’s, stay with Natalie was so great, I almost wish I could keep her a secret! Natalie did a great job taking care of Biggie and her home was a great place for him to stay. He seemed so relaxed and comfortable from the very beginning and Natalie did a great job sending pictures and updates. We definitely plan to use her again!”
“Nicole is always professional and gives us updates about our dog. I encourage everyone to use Nicole, she is great to work with! Her home is a friendly environment for dogs.”
“Dani and her wife were great with our dog Lucy while we were out of town! They took extra time to get to know her and sent reports and photos each day. I really appreciated the love and attention they gave her, and Lucy got along with their two dogs after getting to know them. They have a nice home and fenced yard. Highly recommend!”
“I needed to find a babysitter quickly and Haley accepted my last minute babysitter request. Kona enjoyed his stay! Haley sent updated photos throughout his entire stay to keep me tuned in with how Kona was doing. I loved all the photos that gave me reassurance that Kona was doing well. Thank you for taking good care of Kona while I was away. It makes me happy knowing that Kona was well taken care of when Im not available. I feel like Kona misses you. Thank you for being so good to me and Kona. We will be returning in the future.”
“Weiling took excellent care of Lisa and Maggie. She was always very attentive to their needs and made sure they were comfortable and happy throughout their stay. She sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind, and she absolutely spoiled them with love and attention. Communication was open, consistent, and easy from start to finish. She was also very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. I would not hesitate to leave Lisa and Maggie with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“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 is the second time Luna has stayed with Macee. I can't give enough positive about Macee's care and treatment of Luna. Luna becomes part of Macee's home and activities. Macee follows routines and any special care with a few added pluses as she sees helpful. When I need someone to watch Luna, Macee is where I will go. I also know Luna would second this review.”

About: I have been pet sitting since my freshman year of college, and am now in my 30s. I am especially good with older dogs who need special care - even hand feeding or adjusting what they eat for their digestive systems to handle on a given day. Let me handle them and I'll make sure they know they're loved! When the alarm goes off at 5:30 every morning, I take our two labs downstairs to go outside, and then it's back up to the kitchen for breakfast. They spend the day with my husband, and then I take them outside before bed. They are my whole world! My biggest goal is to make sure I abide by your pet's routine and disrupt their schedule as little as possible. Our animals trust us, and I never take that trust for granted.
“Mrs. Mary was so so wonderful and accommodating! I was just a nervous wreck when I left my Tilly home, that the beginning of my vacation wasn’t even enjoyable. However, after her updates I began to feel so much better knowing I had someone there who was really taking her. I would rebook Mary again in a heartbeat.”
“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.”
“Ali was awesome. She set up a meet and greet for our dog Mia. Mia liked her right away. Ali was very detailed and provided updates and pictures of drop ins each time. Highly recommend Ali. She is very dependable.”
“Taylor was so communicative and friendly! She listened carefully to care and feeding instructions and asked questions for anything I didn't cover — like my cats' favorite toys :) I can tell she truly loved spending time with my cats as if they were her own and would love to have her watch them again!”
About: Hello! My name is Gina and I am a graduate student at Mizzou! I grew up with hunting Labs and have been around dogs my whole life. I’ve also been dog sitting for several years and enjoy spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet wants to play, go for a walk, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I have a light summer class schedule with class not starting until after 12pm and would love to help support you with your pet care in the mornings and evenings Unfortunately I live with roommates and have a landlord that does not allow pets and unable to provide care for your pets in my home
“I am so thankful for Ellie! My cat is very shy and can be stressed with change, but she got along with Ellie so well and loved her visits! It makes me feel better about going out of town knowing she’s in good hands.”
“Wow! Allison stayed with my kitty Wally for three nights, and I came home to a happy and content boy - and he can be a handful! Home was also left immaculate. I appreciated the update pics off and on while I was away also. Thanks so much Allison!”
About: I currently own 3 energetic dogs that adore! I am responsible for all aspects of their care. I have also dog sat for friends and family in the past. I am a graduate student so there are some times that I am not available, but most weekends and early morning and nights I can be available! I usually have breaks between classes that I can be available to check in on or walk your pet. At a client’s home you can count on me to make sure your animal is safe, loved, and cared for. I will do everything in my power to make sure the animal feels comfortable and not too out of routine.
“Alicen is an extremely professional and knowledgeable dogsitter and caretaker. She took the time to get to know our dogs before her first visit. The day of, she excellent care of them. Our girls looked very happy in all the photos she sent! We really appreciate Alicen and highly recommend her.”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of my families two cats since I was little, so I sort of felt there was something missing when I went to live on my own. Thankfully my cat Sarah has once again put the joys and chaos of owning a cat back in my life. Had her for over a year now and she is truly the best.
About: I have have a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and have 2 large dogs of my own with needs from daily meds, to separation anxiety, long walks to get out their energy, and special attention regarding interaction with other animals. I love walking dogs and make sure they get the exercise and attention they need! I’ll give them lots of love. My only commitments these days are online school, so I have a lot of flexibility to be available early in the morning, throughout the day, and late/overnight. I am open to fitting in where you need me! I know from experience that our pets are our family and need the best care to feel at home when you’re away. I will care for your home and your babies like they’re my own!
“Amanda was just THE BEST. The first time she met Hoss, my cat, they bonded. Hoss loves to play fetch and chase the dot and the two of the got right to it. Hoss likes the treats in a tube but would only eat then from the bowl till Amanda got to eat them from her hand. She knows how to make our pets comfortable and provided a lap to curl up on. Hoss would meet her at the door and tell her about his day. If your looking for someone watch your pet I'd recommend Amanda. So does Hoss”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hallsville
“Alicen is the best gift for my dog. In the past, my dog has not had good experiences with some dogs but Alicen knows how to introduce dogs and also bring a calm confidence to the environment. I am so grateful to have found her. My pup came home happy and calm too.”
About: We have four pups of our own and often foster 2-3 puppies at a time. We are a dog loving family. We would love to host your pup! Long time pet parents! I am a stay at home Mom. We have plenty of time to offer play, snuggles, and walks while hosting your pup and keeping them company. We have four permanent residents that are spoiled rotten. Harlo is very chill and laid back, while Martin loves to play with our frequent visitors.
“Due to a medical emergency, I had only 12 hours to schedule a first time visit. Donna was very understanding and affordable. I wasn't impressed by the neighborhood-until I saw her spacious yard. My beagle played the day away and slept the whole evening. Would happily use again.”
“Haley, I thank you and your family for welcoming Molly for a safe, fun day while I was away! Haley’s home doggie daycare was a wonderful experience for my dog. Haley provides a comfortable home environment, a great backyard, lots of playtime and interaction with other dogs and members of her family. Thanks again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Thank you, Wendy, for taking such wonderful care of Mooncake today and for being so kind and accommodating of our early arrival and early departure. He had a blast today with you and the other dogs!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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.”
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.
“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: 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.
“Alexis is always flexible and has helped me out last minute multiple times. She is very nice and has a calm demeanor. Her dog Scout is very friendly and energetic and gets my dog to play, which, as a single doggo child, is really needed!”
“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🙏”

About: I have had animals my entire life. I have taken care of cats and dogs and rodents. I have been trusted to house sit for others and take care of many pets at once. I loved doing it every single time! I am working to be a full time artist so my schedule is very flexible. I can accept last minute jobs easily. This is my main source of income currently I have two wonderful cats at home that both get a lot of love in the ways they need. Greg is my cuddle bug who loves to be close and snuggle. Bella is my independent baby who loves pets on her terms and playing with her many toys. I also have a hamster named Rickey who has his own spoils. I can check in on small animals too, even if they’re not on the app specifically.
About: I’m a HUGE animal lover and have experience taking care of all sorts of animals, from dogs, to cats, spiders, bunnies, frogs, and more! I have six cats of my own and foster medically fragile/behaviorally challenged cats from the Humane Society. It brings me so much joy when I see a cat truly start to thrive again. Because of how long I’ve been caring for animals, I’m experienced in providing a wide variety of care. Your puppy is still crate training? I can help! Your senior four-legged friend needs medication? I can do it! Your socially awkward pet doesn’t like people? That’s okay! You have an animal that most people don’t know how to care for? I guarantee you that I do. Working with animals is such a fulfilling part of my life and that’s why I’ve been doing it so long! **Rover takes a huge percentage of earnings for sitters! Therefore, I request that we use Venmo or another payment method instead of Rover! I work an incredibly flexible job, allowing me to spend quality time with your pets while you’re away. I work with my clients and around their schedules, making pet care as stress-free as possible! I usually care for pets in my client’s home, as my home is a bit of a zoo. I work hard to ensure we have trust and boundaries established so we both feel comfortable! One of the ways I do that is by doing a meet n greet beforehand. I love to get to know the pet parents and meet the pets before I start sitting.
About: I currently own 3 energetic dogs that adore! I am responsible for all aspects of their care. I have also dog sat for friends and family in the past. I am a graduate student so there are some times that I am not available, but most weekends and early morning and nights I can be available! I usually have breaks between classes that I can be available to check in on or walk your pet. At a client’s home you can count on me to make sure your animal is safe, loved, and cared for. I will do everything in my power to make sure the animal feels comfortable and not too out of routine.
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 are during the middle of the day so they can go out plenty of times in the morning and night. 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’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!
“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 was great with Merle! She was available right away when I found out I needed a dog walker and responded within minutes. She was literally there within an hour. I really appreciate her being accommodating and taking my furbaby for a walk on such short notice. He had a great time and she sent me cute pictures of him on campus :)”
About: I have been around pets since I was a kid. I did take care of elder dogs in the past time. I did dog-sitting the puppies. I had experience with foster dogs and my housemate in the past. I have experience with deaf dogs myself. My family and I raised a deaf dog; she is now at peace. I am currently working from home. My schedule has some flexibility that I can take care of other things such as taking care of pets. I always make sure the pets feel safe and secure in their space. I care about their boundaries in their daily routine and develop relationships with their pets.
“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 vet student at Mizzou who is open to becoming your go-to person for pet-sitting needs! I am very flexible and willing to negotiate whatever you need to feel comfortable while you are away. This summer I am working at a research facility in which I am only there a few hours a week. So my schedule is pretty open! I live in a duplex house located Northeast of COMO. I'm more open to in-house visits rather than pet sitting where I live, but I'm flexible.
About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life. I'm not the best trainer but I try the best I can! I love dogs, they mean the world to me. I'm always love and take in any type of dog when I get the chance. I'll treat it like its my own I'm usually home all day since I work from home. I have a dog of my own who likes to be outside so thats where I spend most of my time I have a big fenced yard and one old little dog who can keep them company! I have a walkable neighborhood with a park near by to play
About: I have taken care of animals since I was little. I've been an animal lover since I was born. I am ver patient and do good with animals. I am available on weekends and weekdays when I'm not working. Just text me and I'll let you know if I am available. I can walk even when it is a bit dark. I always make to check on them every once in awhile to make sure they are good. I make sure to give lots of cuddles. For dogs, I make sure to occasionally see if they need to go outside. Water is always available.
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: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. Friends and family have trusted and relied on me to make sure their pets are loved and taken good care of. I’ve taken care of puppies, cats, and even senior age dogs. I’ve seen it all and have experience with animals who have cancer and can try my hardest to make them comfortable and be able to enjoy their time with me. I have recently graduated with my Bachelors of Health Science degree and I’m currently in a professional program at my Mizzou to graduate with my OTA degree! I am married and my husband does work remotely from home for those who board or book daycare with me, your furry friend will be with him and I and our pups Scout and Luna. I have a fenced in yard and a lovable puppy ready to make new friends! I can adjust to what your cat or dog may need to be comfortable in a new environment. Whether that be with meet and greets beforehand or just lots of love and space to help them feel comfortable.
About: I have been doing in-house pet sitting for a little over 4 years now. I’ve cared for old, disabled dogs, kittens, chickens, and even exotic pets! Friends, family, and other clients have relied on me to care for multiple animals at once, taking their pets to the vet, checking them in and out of boarding, and much more! I love all pets I sit like they are my own! I currently work part-time at a restaurant and do school full-time so I’m very available weekend days for walking, and any time during the week to do in-house sitting. I’m fairly flexible during the day and can make most times work! I believe that pets are part of the family and they should be treated with love and respect just like any family member. I currently live with 2 cats and 2 sugar gliders that I love dearly. We are very lenient with our pets, but I think that boundaries are great especially for trouble makers.
About: I had my own pup for over 12 years before he passed away and he was my best friend! He and I had an amazing dog-human relationship, so much so that people I know have frequently called on me to watch their own puppers when they need a sitter because they’ve seen firsthand how much I love dogs. Figured I could get more of my fur fix if I branched out on here. I work a typical M-F day job, but get lunch breaks where I can leave to let out/feed a pup, and I am always free in the evenings and available to stay overnight to spend extra time with your doggo! I am happy to accommodate pups into my home as long as they get along with other nice doggos. But I prefer to stay in home with pets (as long as owners are comfortable with that) to make sure they have as much comfort and company in their own home as possible! The only thing I ask is that you are up front with any “bad” habits your pet may have — they don’t deter me, but I appreciate honesty ahead of time rather than finding out the hard way!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other animals my entire life, and I recently worked at a small animal ICU. Due to this, I am fairly comfortable working with all sorts of dogs and temperaments, and could recognize any problems that may arise with the pet! I am currently taking classes part-time at a vet school, so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pups! I will vary how I take care of the pet based on the animal! I love wrestling, playing with, and running around with the young pups, but I also love a calm snuggle sessions for the less energetic babies!

“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.”

“My daughter is a freshman at Mizzou and wanted to see her pup. (We live in Minnesota) Jennifer took Duke with minimal notice. I appreciated the pictures she sent.

“My doggie had the BEST time! They texted, sent pictures, and kept me updated! They were so chill and just absolutely amazing! Seriously won’t leave my pup with anyone else!”

Stephanie sends frequent and thoughtful updates with wonderful photos and videos throughout the day, which I always appreciate. Mooncake is so happy and comfortable with them that he rarely wants to leave—he always tries to sneak in a few extra snuggles with Stephanie at the door. I'm so grateful for the care they give him!”
“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!!”
“Dani and her wife were great with our dog Lucy while we were out of town! They took extra time to get to know her and sent reports and photos each day. I really appreciated the love and attention they gave her, and Lucy got along with their two dogs after getting to know them. They have a nice home and fenced yard. Highly recommend!”
“I needed to find a babysitter quickly and Haley accepted my last minute babysitter request. Kona enjoyed his stay! Haley sent updated photos throughout his entire stay to keep me tuned in with how Kona was doing. I loved all the photos that gave me reassurance that Kona was doing well. Thank you for taking good care of Kona while I was away. It makes me happy knowing that Kona was well taken care of when Im not available. I feel like Kona misses you. Thank you for being so good to me and Kona. We will be returning in the future.”
“Weiling took excellent care of Lisa and Maggie. She was always very attentive to their needs and made sure they were comfortable and happy throughout their stay. She sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind, and she absolutely spoiled them with love and attention. Communication was open, consistent, and easy from start to finish. She was also very flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. I would not hesitate to leave Lisa and Maggie with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“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!”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay with Jessica and came home happy. With other animals and children in the house our dog always had company and playmates. Booking process was easy and I appreciated the communication and photos throughout his stay!”
About: I have training experience & trained my pup myself! We play, snuggle, walk, and continue to practice training every day! I love teaching my pup new tricks, and can do the same for yours! We are very happy & energetic in our home! My sweet Buster gets along with other animals very well! He's a sweetie! I make sure to do mentally stimulating activities and challenges for Buster! They're so good for dogs! I make them fun and rewarding! I can do that for your baby too! I work full-time. And when I come home, my attention is on my pup- getting his energy out and having fun! If your request is for house sitting, I would need to bring my dog along with me. I'm home all evenings and all weekends. On the weekend, especially, I'll be available to do all the caring for your sweet babe!! The #1 thing is I don't give my dog people food. If I do, he only gets safe fruits & veggies and cheese. I don't have anything a dog could choke on or really swallow. I put Buster in a kennel when I'm gone, but I could leave your dog out if they don't do kennels. Please ask me questions if you have any!
“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!”
“Sadie did a great job with my doggo. Lots of picture updates of her getting love and cuddles. She also has 2 other friendly dogs that make good play partners. I’d recommend her to anyone needing a good place for their dog to go!”
“we are so thankful to Kaila for agreeing to watch our pups at the last minute, and on a holiday too! She took great care of them, sent pictures and updates, and was very easy to get a hold of if we needed anything!”
