“Brock and Rashelle provided exceptional care for my beloved fur baby. Their kindness and affection truly shone through, making my pet feel right at home. He had a wonderful time playing with their pup, and I appreciated the daily walks and outdoor playtime they ensured he had. I also loved receiving regular updates and photos, which brought me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend their services!”

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!”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs through my professional work in veterinary care. I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of personalities, sizes, ages, and needs, including providing daily care, exercise, and following individualized routines. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need extra attention, patience, or close monitoring. I’m reliable, attentive to detail, and quick to notice changes in a pet’s behavior or wellbeing. Most importantly, I treat every dog with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 7 AM–4 PM, but I’m available before and after work, as well as during my lunch break, for pet visits and care. I’m available from 5–7 AM, 11 AM–1 PM, and 4–8 PM during the week. My weekends are completely open, so I have plenty of flexibility for longer visits, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I also have two cats of my own, so caring for animals is already an important part of my everyday life! I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow their feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure their pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine and preferences. My professional animal-care experience has also taught me to be very attentive to changes in behavior or wellbeing. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.

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!

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of kitty personalities. For the past few years, I’ve also been caring for a family friend’s cat while they’re out of town. I understand that every cat is different. Some are shy and independent, while others are ready to run, play, and demand all the cuddles! I’m happy to meet your cat wherever they’re most comfortable, whether that means giving them plenty of playtime and attention or simply keeping them company from a respectful distance. I’ll tailor each visit to your cat’s personality and needs while making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of love and care. I’ll happily be at your cat’s service. Whether they need a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or just someone to keep their kingdom running while you’re away! 🐱💕

I can safely handle feeding schedules, litter box upkeep, playtime, and daily enrichment to keep your cat relaxed and happy while you’re away.

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: 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.

Most importantly, I treat every dog with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 7 AM–4 PM, but I’m available before and after work, as well as during my lunch break, for pet visits and care. I’m available from 5–7 AM, 11 AM–1 PM, and 4–8 PM during the week. My weekends are completely open, so I have plenty of flexibility for longer visits, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I also have two cats of my own, so caring for animals is already an important part of my everyday life! I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow their feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure their pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine and preferences. My professional animal-care experience has also taught me to be very attentive to changes in behavior or wellbeing. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.

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.

About: I’m an Animal Science major with a lifelong love for animals! I grew up with two dogs and have experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends and family. I’m responsible, patient, and love giving pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels happy and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time at a horse clinic while also attending classes. I have flexible breaks throughout the day, which gives me time to walk, feed, or play with pets. After work and classes, I’m available for evening visits or walks to make sure pets get the care and attention they need. I live in an apartment, so I’m not able to host pets overnight, but I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, and playtime to keep your pets happy and active. I always prioritize safety and make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and cared for during our time together.

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 dog sat for the past 6 years in the Omaha Metro area and in Lincoln NE for several families. I managed the care of 3 large breed dogs for multiple days during several housesitting stays. I also have 2 dogs on my family farm, a Border Collie and a Mini Aussie, that we have had for over 6 years. I would love to help take care of your pets while you are on vacation or out of town! We recently located to Columbia MO and are looking for more dog sitting opportunities! I am a full time student in PA school. I usually attend class from 8-2 daily but then I am free from there-on to do tasks as need be which would give me the freedom to go and dog sit! I treat all pets with respect. I know that I wouldn’t want my dogs treated poorly by a new person watching them. I usually take the dogs for a walk or two and then fetch or whatever the usual regimen consists of. I also ensure that dietary restrictions are followed as written.

About: I am a very experienced animal person. I’ve been around dogs, cats, and even reptiles my whole life. I live with multiple and even have an adopted/reactive dog, who is also a senior dog, so I know how to handle and approach them! I am on rover because I am minoring in Animal Science, and spending my time with animals is one of my favorite things to do! I work part time, my schedule isn’t set and it fluctuates every week. Reaching out in advance is always appreciated but if there is a day/night I’m not working, I would love to sit your fuzzy friend! Even better if you’re open to me working my part-time job into the schedule if it’s house sitting 😊 I am very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and cats, I love being active so walks and playing outside in this nice weather is a given.

About: Growing up, I’ve never went without a pet in my house. From puppies, to senior dogs, I have experience with it all! Mainly, I dogsit for dogs and cats but I’ve also owned rodents consistently throughout my whole life (hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc) so I have vast experience with those as well if needed! I’m a current college student with a passion for petsitting looking to provide excellence service to any and all pets you have! I’m available 24/7 on weekends! I do same day booking, though I would especially prefer at least a days notice for in-house stays. For drop-ins and walks, I am available for same day bookings! In my home, safety is one of our main priorities. I always make sure anything that is hazardous is picked up off the floor. Same with our elderly dog, to prevent tripping. I do several bathroom breaks a day, making sure to play with them hands on, and pet them to let them know they’re loved too. Im constantly checking food and water, and I would apply these same things in my clients’ homes. I’m used to the crazy with all of mine, so bring on the chaos!

About: I’ve taken care of all types of pets—hedgehogs, geckos, livestock, fish, cats, and dogs. I’m comfortable with unique routines, special needs, and creating a calm, safe environment for every animal. I focus on reliable communication, gentle handling, and making sure each pet feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my college routine. My class schedule is flexible, so I’m able to plan visits, walks, and check-ins around my coursework. I spend a lot of time at home studying, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and companionship. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, walks between classes, or overnight care, I make pet sitting a natural part of my weekly routine. As a pet sitter, I offer both in-home and client's home care. In my home, I provide a comfortable and pet-friendly environment, ensuring their safety and well-being. If caring for pets in the client's home, I'll follow their instructions, maintain their routine, and provide personalized attention to keep them happy and comfortable. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or administering medication, I'll tailor the care to meet each pet's specific needs. 💗

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! I grew up with a mini dachshund and cared for him as he got older and became a senior pup. I’ve also cared for other senior dogs, and I have a special love for them, they deserve all the extra snuggles and attention. I also got a puppy when I was younger, so I know how to keep up with all that energy! With experience from puppyhood to senior care, I’m comfortable walking dogs, giving them plenty of love, and making sure they feel happy and safe. I recently moved to the area and I am looking for something to do. My schedule is pretty open and would love to fill it with pet care. When caring for a client's pet I always make sure to follow any rules the client has given me. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and snuggles while also keeping up with their feeding schedule, potty breaks, and walks.

About: I have experience caring for dogs through helping friends and neighbors with dog sitting and dog walking whenever they need me. I also have a 9 year old dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibilities of caring for a pet. I love being around dogs and giving them lots of attention! I am currently home for the summer from college and will be working part time as a waitress, so I will have plenty of time for dog walking! I will take every safety measure there is when it comes to doggies such as making sure the doors are closed, the fence is closed, keeping them on the leash, and helping them feel comfortable.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Ive spent my childhood and adulthood having them around to a point were life is not the same if they are not around. I am a responsible pet owner who puts the care of these innocent souls a priority 100% of the time. A dog doesnt have to wiggle its tail to fit into my space or schedule. Its more of a blend. Thats how love flows. I work remotely 2 days a week and 2 days at the office but my schedule is flexible. I treat any dog as if it my own. I see no differences. Their love is unconditional, and so its mine. During the time together, we are.

About: I have about 3+ years experience with watching / taking care of dogs. I’ve had my fair share of experiences knowing what they can and can’t eat and what questions to ask regarding a dogs diet. I have experience staying over night with dogs (at my place or theirs), going over to their place and taking care of them for a few hours, and of course walking dogs. I’ve had experience taking care of older dogs, about 13+ years old, and younger ones, roughly 4-5 years old. I am currently working on a thesis for graduate school and my schedule is rather flexible. I have time most mornings, afternoons, and evenings to take care or watch over dogs. I am also able to dog sit at the owners place if need be. I live with my parents so I probably wouldn’t be bring the dog home too often, but I’m pretty active and would take dogs on walks throughout the day. At a clients place, I like to chase them around for a bit at times and play around with them occasionally. I have a lot of energy so I have no problem with younger dogs.

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: Hi there! My name is Sofia and I am a medical student at Mizzou Med and would LOVE to walk your dog! I have been caring for my dog for 11 years and before that I watched friends’ dogs for long periods of time. If you couldn’t tell, I absolutely LOVE all dogs. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart, and I am an extremely trustworthy person to leave your 4-legged family member with! I understand the importance of finding a walker/ sitter you can trust as I do not trust just anyone to take care of my own pup, and I will do an excellent job of keeping your baby safe and happy. I would be so happy to walk, feed, and play with your dog! I will adjust my schedule to whatever your pet requires! I am very enthusiastic about taking care of dogs, so your pup will be my number 1 priority. The main thing I care about is NEVER leaving your dog unattended!! I am super responsible and I would never want anything to happen to your dog under my watch. I am also very energetic and love playing with dogs, so your dog will never be bored.

About: Growing up on a 2,500-acre farm, I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals—but dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I’ve never known life without one! I was raised with Golden Retrievers, Labradors, English Bulldogs, Yorkies, and Weimaraners and have experience caring for many other breeds, including German Shepherds, Great Pyrenees, Yorkies, Corgis, Great Danes, and Border Collies. As a certified dog trainer, I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I treat every dog in my care like one of my own, providing plenty of love, attention, structure, playtime, and individualized care. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and safety will always be my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your dog into my home as part of the family! I’m self-employed and work from home full-time, which allows me to be present with the dogs throughout the day. I’m available to provide frequent potty breaks, supervised playtime, enrichment, and plenty of individual attention. Because my schedule is flexible, I can also follow your dog’s normal feeding, medication, exercise, and rest routine as closely as possible. Safety, structure, and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and a climate-controlled indoor dog space with heating, air conditioning, and padded flooring for hot, cold, or rainy days. Dogs are carefully introduced, monitored during play, fed separately, and given scheduled breaks to prevent overstimulation. Overnight, each visiting dog sleeps safely in their own crate. I always follow the owner’s instructions and tailor care to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I am also certified by the American Red Cross in Pet First Aid & CPR.
