Personalized care for your dog or cat - Harg
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Harg
“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!”
“Victoria was great with Bella. Provided updates and pictures daily, and answered messages right away. Most importantly, Bella loved her and staying there. Thank you!”
“Ximena did a terrific job watching our timid toy poodle while we were on vacation! Her small dogs were friendly to mine. She clearly explained how she would keep her safe and what the daily routine is at our meet n greet, and sent pics and updates every day. As an added bonus, she lives very close! Will definitely use her again!”
“Jennifer was great! Jersey and I just moved here and I had to travel for work this past week. She did a very good job keeping me updated on how he was doing. I saw that he made a few friends and got some super cute pictures as well ?”
“Matt and Angel were so thoughtful while taking care of our dog while we were gone for over a week. She was completely spoiled and loved every bit of it. We got daily updates of her walks and activities during the day. Would highly recommend booking with Matt and Angel!”
“Alicen took time to make sure humans and dogs felt comfortable and confident during the stay. She went above and beyond with communicating before and during my dogs’ stay with her and her pack. We felt she was exceedingly capable of handing all kinds of doggie dynamics and needs. Our dogs had a blast and made lots of camp friends! One of our dogs didn’t want to leave! We will book again with Alicen 100%.”
“I've had very good luck with sitters on Rover. We've never had one we didn't like, but our experience with Catlyn was above and beyond. Our dog was treated like part of the family and had a great time spending a week with Catlyn's dogs and being a part of her family. I will never feel bad about leaving our dog with a sitter if she is in Catlyn's hands. She is also great at communicating and sending updates with photos and video. Highly recommend.”
“Thank you to Stephanie and Kyle for taking such wonderful care of Mooncake! Stephanie sent several detailed, thoughtful, and warm updates throughout the day about how Mooncake was doing—and numerous photographs and videos of his adventures with her sweet dogs. It was a relief to know that he was being looked after with so much care, and I could not have asked for a better experience.”
“Anthony was great with our dog. He took him on walks and sent pics and videos during our vacation. I was able to enjoy our time away knowing he was well cared for!”
“Macee was fantastic! She cared for our dog like he was her own, kept us updated with adorable pictures and videos throughout his day and we know he had the best time! We really appreciated her great care!”
“Dani did a fantastic job with our pup Winnie! Our original sitter cancelled on the day of our trip and Dani saved the day for us! We had good communication and pictures while we gone and Winnie came back a happy and tired dog. Wi highly recommend Dani and we would use her again without hesitation.”
“If you are looking for a warm, caring stay for you pet Laura is your girl. We where in Columbia Mo for softball crazy three days not knowing when we are playing. Laura was so accommodating.”
“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.”
“I really love the way Brandon handled my dog. He took him on a walk, and it looked like he was even at a park. My dog did not really like men when I first got him, but when I gave my dog to Brandon, my dog looked up at him he knew he was getting ready to have a great time. I will definitely recommend Brandon to any dogs family. I truly appreciate his help.”
“Have had dog sitters all over the country. I have never been more comfortable than bringing out dogs to her..it's like a vacation for the dogs and stress free for us.. she is awesome, her setup is perfect.”

“Abigail did a fantastic job of taking care of our 4 feline boys for a week. One of our guys has some special needs and she excelled in his care giving. You could tell from the photos and videos that the fur balls really appreciated her visits. Will definitely use her again when the need arises. Highly recommended.”
About: I've assisted in taking care of family cats from a very young age and currently have a cat of my own that I care for.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Harg
“A great and safe home for your wee doggie. Ximena has two adorable and sweet doggies, a pug and a chihuahua. Ximena’s family are very friendly and helpful. You’ll feel like your doggie’s going to have a fun and safe day at Ximena’s house!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Wendy as a dog sitter in Columbia, Mo. She has taken great care of my Hailey during her needy puppy stage. I couldn’t ask for better service. Don’t hesitate to hire her!”
“Great experience! Shannon and her husband are great and are obviously pet lovers! We have a nervous doggie and Shannon sent pics and updates. Will totally request them again!”
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, 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.
“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!”
“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!!”
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, so caring for dogs, cats, and other pets has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood to their senior years, and I understand the different needs at every stage. What sets me apart is the blend of lifelong experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I know how to handle high-energy pups who need extra playtime, provide gentle care for senior pets, and create a safe, comfortable environment for every dog in between. With two friendly dogs of my own, a Vizsla and a Wirehaired Griffon, your pup will have both human and canine companionship during their stay. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be home often, which means I can check in on your pup or cat throughout the day and give them plenty of attention. I'll make sure your pets have companionship, consistency, and comfort while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and feel at ease. With two friendly dogs and a Persian cat, your pet will have companionship, but I also know how to manage introductions and keep everyone safe and comfortable. We also have the ability to keep our pets on a separate floor of the home.
“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!”
“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: 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: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dogs and have never thought of them as “just pets”, they're family! I've raised both a Beagle and a French Bulldog from puppyhood and have experience caring for senior dogs as well. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality, whether they're energetic and playful or happy to spend the day snuggled up on the couch. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust when you're away. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. I'm a stay-at-home mom and work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pup attention, playtime, walks, and lots of love. Your dog's happiness and safety will always be my priority. We even have a separate room available for them who would feel more comfortable having their own quiet space while staying with us. My family recently moved to Missouri from Hawaii, where I had the opportunity to care for many wonderful dogs. I truly enjoy being around animals and would love to treat your furry family member like one of my own. For me, the pet care including my dog is the most priority in my life. I’m currently working as a freelance so my schedule is very flexible! I can definitely change my schedule to suit to your request, please feel free to let me know! I will pay my FULL attention to our dogs all the time, and if you have any requests I’d love to do anything you and your dog will love! Your pets' happiness and safety will always be my priority. We even have a separate room available for them who would feel more comfortable having their own quiet space while staying with us.
About: Hey there! I have been working as a veterinary technician for 10+ years and have reduced to part-time since I started working towards my doctorate in veterinary medicine. As I work towards my degree, I look forward to spending my free time taking care of some new furry faces! As I have mentioned, I have numerous years of experience professionally working with and caring for a variety of animals (dogs, cats, pocket pets and birds). I am comfortable administering medications, including subcutaneous medications (such as insulin and fluids). I have a lot of experience caring for a range of breeds, stages of life and temperaments of cats and dogs alike to understand their individual needs. I am also Pet CPR & First Aid certified. Please let me know how I can help! I am always open to questions and to scheduling a Meet & Greet so that I can meet you and your lovely fur children prior to any stay/visit! :) I am currently in school and only working part-time, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I have more availability on the weekends, but can definitely offer services during the week as needed! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs at home that enjoy playing with other dogs at daycare. If staying at your home, I’ll follow any instructions you may have to keep up with your pets daily routine to make the adjust for them seamless while you’re away!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Harg
“Martina is great! Our German Shepherd loves his walks with her and she is working great at getting our golden to warm up and go for walks, which might not ever happen but always appreciate the effort and initiative!!”
“Alisa has been a fabulous dog sitter and walker for my Kima girl. She’s 100% dependable and reliable. She’s great with sending photos and updates. She’s been very good with making sure that Kima has her booties on and isn’t walked too long on hot Phoenix days. I’ve always felt comfortable having her stay in my home while I’m away to care for Kima. I can’t rave enough about Alisa. I highly recommend her!”
“Hanna was awesome! We had her watch our puppy three different times when we were in town for graduation weekend and she was amazing! It was so nice to leave knowing that Nugget was in good hands. I highly recommend Hanna!!!”
“Clare is awesome. I loved seeing how happy our dog was on her neighborhood walks with picture updates. We appreciate you so much Clare, thank you so much. We would definitely book again.”
“Kelsi has been the perfect dog walker for my pup! I know my dog enjoys getting outside with Kelsi - on my busy days, she is a lifesaver. Kelsi has always been very communicative and responsive, as well. Highly recommend her if you are looking for genuine care for your pet.”
“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!”
About: Hi there! I’m a third year vet student looking to help out local pet parents this summer. Because of my veterinary medical background, I am highly comfortable with everything from energetic pups and senior animals to administering medications and recognizing subtle behavioral needs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and passionate about keeping your pets happy, healthy, and safe while you're apart. As a veterinary student, my summer schedule is highly flexible. I am available for dog walks, drop in visits, and overnight pet sitting on weekends and weekdays. I provide expert care in your home. My veterinary training allows me to monitor health, manage strict dietary routines, safely administer medications, and understand both canine and feline body language to keep your pets safe and stress-free.
“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: 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!
“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: My experience with pets started at an early age, as there has never been a time in my life where I haven’t had at least one dog and cat that I absolutely adored and took care of. From fostering kittens to attending the hounds around town walking program for dogs- I’ve had a pretty wide range! I’ve completed a socializing program with my prior local humane society, pet sat many of my friends and family’s’ fur babies- as well as currently taking care of my three sweet cats! I would love to meet your pets and share some love when you aren’t able to! It brings a lot of joy to my life :) I’m currently a medical professional employed in the Columbia community but have pet sat as a side gig for many years as a way to connect with the community, meet other local pet parents, and love on others pets as if they were my own! My schedule varies and is often open the entire day. I would love to fit some pet sitting/walking opportunities into my life when I’m able! Taking care of your pets in your home is completely up to your preferred method! Every pet parent is different and I will make sure to tailor that experience to the sitting. Details and communication are the most important thing .
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!
About: My husband and I had been Rover users and hosts to many furry friends over the years and it was our favorite thing to do in our spare time. We have two fur babies at home, but we took a hiatus as we welcomed a human baby to the family! I’m excited to pick Rover back up— this time as a stay at home mom that loves to keep busy. That consists of lots of walks whenever we can, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to bring your pups along anytime! I’ll be available for dog walking most days and times throughout the week, so let me know how I can help! I offer dog walking during the week days currently and have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available regularly for you and your pup! If your pup pulls hard on a leash and is over 50lbs, please let me know so we can determine if we’re a good fit for each other. Most days, I bring my toddler along in a stroller and want to make sure I’m making this the best experience for any pup that we’re taking care of!
About: My name is Doug and my wife, Adrienne, and I have an adorable pitbull mix with special needs named Shuri. I have a soft spot for power breeds and misunderstood dogs; though, we love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have had dogs my entire life and have worked with dogs of all different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have experience in basic training methods. I have experience working with multiple dogs, administering medication, and doing basic training work. Most special needs can be accommodated. Plus your dog will definitely receive lots of love from myself and the rest of the family. I currently work from home and have plenty of time to spend with your pups. I am available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop in visits, and overnights I believe dogs require adequate exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation to truly thrive. I look to provide all three to my dog every day and can help provide them to your dog

About: I have over 5 years of pet-sitting experience and have had dogs my entire life, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. What sets me apart is my commitment to providing personalized care and maintaining each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. In addition to pet sitting, I occasionally volunteer at a puppy nursery that cares for rescued mother dogs and their newborn puppies. This experience has given me additional exposure to caring for young puppies, monitoring their needs, and helping provide a safe and nurturing environment during an important stage of their development. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets, administering basic medications if needed, and providing extra patience and attention to puppies, senior pets, and animals with specific routines. Whether a pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having companionship throughout the day, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I am currently taking online classes over the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. My priority is always providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for pets. I live on 12 acres in a quiet setting and have one small, very friendly Cocker Spaniel. While my yard is not fenced, pets are always supervised outdoors and can be kept on long leads for safe exercise and exploration when appropriate. I never allow pets off-leash unless specifically instructed by the owner and it is safe to do so. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their environment clean and secure. I understand that trust is important when someone is caring for a beloved pet, so I maintain open communication and provide regular updates and photos. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and needs to ensure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout my time with them.
“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!”
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!
“Have had dog sitters all over the country. I have never been more comfortable than bringing out dogs to her..it's like a vacation for the dogs and stress free for us.. she is awesome, her setup is perfect.”
“Kelly and her husband are a treasure! They were so gracious about accepting a boarding request that was very last minute and they were even more gracious about my activity running late. Both the dogs were very well taken care of, even the senior one who is a bit spoiled at home! They were relaxed and content when they got picked up. I would absolutely make use of Kelly’s services again and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone I know. It’s can be nerve racking to leave your dogs with someone you don’t know, but Kelly instantly had me completely at ease. Not only is she a good dog sitter but, perhaps more importantly, you can tell she’s a good person. Excellent, smooth experience! Thanks Kelly!!”
“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!”
