“I hate to be honest here. For fear that Kate and Ken will not be available when we need them in the future. They were so attentive to Tripp. Their dogs and our dog played so much. I received pictures and videos daily showing the smile on his face. We don’t have a yard as big as theirs. Or other dogs for him to play with. So this was a real treat for him. They understand our dog’s communication style. Let him be a dog. Play like a puppy. But also balanced it with the guidance and directions he is used to. Both Ken and Kelly were exactly what we hoped for when we signed up for care. We drove 40 minutes to drop him off and pick him up. Both my husband and I believe it is worth it. Previously Tripp had been boarded at a kennel. I started using Rover in hopes that he would get more interaction with dogs and humans while we were gone. Boy! Did Ken and Kelly do that! Thank you for loving him like one of your family!”
“Our dog had a great time boarding with Lisa. There was lots of love, outdoor time, and playtime with the sweet host’s dogs. We had a schedule conflict, and Lisa was very kind and accommodating to our last-minute request. We would love to reserve service with Lisa in the future!”
“Samantha and Jesse are amazing - they sent photos everyday and gave me updates as well. I knew my pup was in good hands with them and I felt at ease knowing he was so well taken care of!”
“Sabine took amazing care of my fur-baby Roscoe. She had excellent communication and shared photo updates throughout each day. I would definitely book Sabine again in the future!”
“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!”
“We left our two dogs with Daniel while we went out of town for three nights and loved the daily pictures and updates that we got. Would absolutely recommend Daniel to anybody!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I am currently in college to become a certified veterinary technician. I have veterinary medicine training and can spot health problems right away. I have administered medicine and given medication orally. I have open availability through out the week when I work so your furry friends will always have someone at home to take care of there needs. I have a small fenced in part of my yard. No animal is left unattended and is always safe in my care. I always go out of my way to make my home feel like there own.
“Sydney was great to work with to make Ian's stay comfortable and safe. He is an old dog and I was concerned that his special needs, which require medications on a schedule would be too disruptive to Sydney's routine but she had no problem. I really appreciated the prompt and solid communication.”
“Sierra was amazing ! She took good care of Cody and he was happy when I picked him up. I could tell that he felt very comfortable with her and her family. I would definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her for any service.❤️❤️🐾🐾”
“My dog, Joy had the best time with her. She took great care of Joy, and I was able to travel for a month with peace of mind. She is like family to me and Joy. I want to express my gratitude and hope we can meet again in the future.”
“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!”
“Highly recommended, Naee went above and beyond for our fur-baby Star. We will definitely be coming back to her again when we need the help ? Thanks so much for taking great care of our ⭐️”
“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!”
“Everything worked out wonderfully about this stay. Amanda was very responsive, everything went as planned, and she and Java seem to have had a great chemistry from the very beginning. After a 3 days of camping trip, the dog seems happy, healthy and tired (which is a good thing!), and the owner is definitely happy... and tired too. Thanks, Amanda, for the peace of mind!”
“Stephanie is hands down the single best dog sitter on this app. She is so responsive and sends the best, most detailed updates! She truly cares for my pup and I literally have 0 worries when he’s with her while I’m away. I can’t say enough how wonderful she is and how highly I recommend her! 10/10.”
“Catlyn was truly amazing! She is so attentive, sends plenty of pictures, and followed my tedious care instructions! Could not recommend her enough! Also has two of the cutest fur babes of her own! 10/10 would recommend and use her again!”
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.

“Liane did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 cats. She was available on short notice and made time to come meet and greet ahead of time. Highly recommend and will request again in the future.”
“Chloe was great! Came over and scooped a lot of litter boxes and checked on my kitties. They don’t like a lot of people, but she did find one of them hiding under the treadmill and sent a pic.”
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with cats and naturally bonded with the shy and “grumpy cat” personalities. I now have three rescue cats of my own, 5 year old brother and sister red tabbies that we have had since 2 weeks old and a black 3 year old shelter rescue. I pride myself in my understanding that every cat has a different comfort level, routine, and personality and I genuinely enjoy earning their trust at their pace. One thing that sets me apart is that I let cats choose to come to me on their own terms and focus on showing them that I am a calm and safe new friend. I know many cats need time to observe, adjust, and build confidence before engaging. In my experience, patient and respectful interactions create much stronger trust and more positive experiences for cats. Through my background in animal care, I’ve learned how important body language, routine, and low stress handling are for animals. I’m comfortable with shy, nervous, senior, independent, or less social cats and understand how to adapt care to each individual personality. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance and deep cleaning, enrichment and play, administering basic medications, monitoring behavior changes, and keeping environments clean and safe. I also know how important updates are for cat parents, so I prioritize communication, photos, and making sure you feel confident your cat is comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Most importantly, I truly love cats for who they are. Whether that means playing for an hour, quietly sitting nearby while they observe, or simply respecting their space and routine until they choose to connect.
“Samantha and Jesse took great care of our cats while we were gone. They were easy to work with, gave us daily updates, and all was in great shape on our return. We would definitely work with them again!”
“Ashley was amazing! She took such good care of our fur babies. She was wonderful at communicating and sent us photos and updates each day. 10/10 would recommend Ashley for all your pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and cats have a special place in my heart. I know every cat has a different personality — some want constant attention and playtime, while others prefer their space and a calm environment. I’m comfortable adjusting to whatever makes your cat happiest and most comfortable while you’re away. I’m experienced with daily feeding routines, litter box care, giving medications if needed, and making sure cats stay safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their home environment. Whether your cat is energetic, shy, cuddly, or convinced they run the household, I’ll make sure they get loving and dependable care.
“Elizabeth is a great communicator. She is fully engaged with our pet. She gives me great details about their interactions and it does my heart good knowing that he’s in such good hands.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, always thought about being a vet but it never happened. I am in the medical field, I just help humans instead. I believe dogs are the most loyal animal you could have I your home. The love they give is unmatched, no judgment on us humans, they love us unconditionally. I’m currently not working due to the pandemic, I’m home all day taking care of my dog. I have time for your fur baby all day. I have a house with a fenced yard. I live in a great area as well. I have a fenced yard that’s a decent size. I let my dog out several times a day, sometimes we take car rides. I rarely use a kennel but if your pet is not house trained or can get destructive, I would recommend you bring a crate in the event I have to run to the store or something.
About: Note: I love cats and offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting! I'm happy to stay at your house or visit your kitty while you're away. At this time, we can not board your cat at our home. Thank you! **We try our hardest to keep our calendar up to date so be sure to make sure we are available the week/day your pup needs a vacay** My wife and I both love dogs! We have one miniature Dachshund who is our spoiled little baby! We both work 5 min from home and have a very flexible schedule so we come home several times a day to check on our pup and walk her so your dog is sure to get LOTS of love and attention as well as plenty of outside play time. We do prefer to keep only medium and small dogs. This is for both your pup's safety and comfort as well as ours. We understand how difficult it is to leave your fur-baby but we want to make it a little easier on both you and your baby! From daily pictures sent directly to you assuring you that your dog is having a blast on their own vacay to video chats with your pet via Skype or FaceTime so your baby can hear your voice and you can see them running around and playing! We live in a town home in Regent Park and have a huge grassy common area behind our house for your pup to play in! We just installed a fence and some fresh sod in our backyard so your pup is sure to enjoy being outside with us on top of their walks! We also have several trails that we like to walk and would love for your dog to join us (if you are ok with it and your dog enjoys sunset walks :) My wife is home most days and I work only five minutes from the house so we are available all day day to spend quality time with your fur baby! I have a fenced in yard and lots of extra space for your pups crate/bed so they can be sure to feel right at home.
About: I've always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. Since the age of 9 I've been around all kinds of animals besides dogs and cats. Like birds and reptiles that kinda thing. When I do pet sit for someone I usually try to see what the dogs or cats favorite toy or treat is. Then would go and buy a little goody bag for them, just to tell them that there a good girl or a good boy! Besides watching your pets I try to make sure to tidy up your house and to make sure it's nice before you come home. I'm also a quick learner and would help if your animal needs a certain kind of medicine or treatment. I have some experience with that already but I love to learn new things! I'm currently only working weekends part time. It's just not enough for me and since I love animals why not be a pet sitter or just your everyday dog walker. I try my very best to get to know your pet as much as possible. More like I'll treat your pet like how I treat my own. For an example if they have allergies I'll make a quick note and make sure that I don't give them anything there not supposed to have.
“I am satisfied with Janae’s work. I left my cat for a week and the cat is still alive. Lol. She sent photos and answered messages quickly enough. The house was kept clean. I will work with her again. Very respectful, kind & responsible person.”
About: I have lived on a farm my whole life and have taken care of animals. I also groom dogs and have my own grooming business Em’s doggie salon. I also have experience on giving dogs insulin. I do work a 730-430 job but I always have time in the mornings and I have a hour lunch and then when I’m off I can do whatever the pup/ cat needs! Like I said above I groom dogs already on the weekends so people see and trust me with their pets daily! I have had dog and pets my whole life

“Because of poor planning on our part, we did not have boarding arrangements last Sunday when we were going to be out of town for the day. Sam and Jesse stepped up and took care of our Dobby for us. As always, they did a great job with him. And they bailed us out of a potentially tough situation. Thanks to Sam and Jesse for all they do!”
“She took us at the last minute and our dogs came home very happy! She genuinely cared about our girls and you can tell her own dog is as happy as can be and loves to play. Definitely will be using her again!”

About: Hello! I’m Angela. A bit about me: I grew up in South America surrounded by animals. My first German Shepherd, Joe, and my small dog, Lulu, taught me early the importance of love, care, and respect for pets. I saw my parents prepare their food and give them attention, showing me that animals are part of the family and deserve compassion, understanding, and affection. From a young age, I learned that animals act according to their environment and training. I remember a neighbor’s dog jumping toward me once—he only defended himself. Experiences like this taught me patience, empathy, and how to read a pet’s signals to ensure they feel safe and loved. Throughout my life, I have cared for a variety of breeds and sizes. These experiences have deepened my understanding of different temperaments and needs. In my home, pets enjoy a fully fenced one-acre backyard where they can run freely, a doggy door for access in and out, full access to the house, and orthopedic beds for resting. I do not use kennels, allowing them to feel at home. The space is kept clean and fresh at all times, with water always available. I provide companionship, exercise, and mental stimulation so pets are happy and healthy while their owners are away. I love pampering animals and preparing healthy treats approved by their owners. I make homemade snacks, including collagen, chicken feet, and beef bones with vegetables, all 100% natural. After my German Shepherd Joe passed away due to a serious illness, I began preparing natural meals combined with dry food for Jack, my current Shepherd. I have seen remarkable improvements in his health, coat, and well-being, ensuring a long, happy, and vibrant life. Animals are never “just pets”; they are family. I put myself fully to provide a safe, loving environment full of attention, play, and care, giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, healthy, and loved. Thank you for visiting my profile, I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to meeting your precious animals! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I provide meals, exercise, and playtime, supervise pets closely, and ensure they feel safe and loved. I also take time each day to explore new ways for pets to enjoy their environment, keeping them mentally and physically stimulated. Weekly, I clean living areas, check on health needs, and communicate with pet parents to ensure their pets are happy, healthy, and thriving in a secure, caring environment. I provide a safe, loving environment for pets, with a fully fenced one-acre backyard for play. I supervise closely, follow feeding instructions, and use gentle handling. Pets feel happy, secure, and cared for, while I keep owners updated so they trust their furry friends are in good hands.

“Fawn is fairly new to Ximena and her pack. I wanted to have a back up sitter for when we wanted to board Fawn. Fawn gets very excited when we pull up to Ximena's house. She knows the dog "pack" and is excited to be there. When I pick her up at the end of the day, she is ready to have a nap, as she has had a busy day walking and playing. Ximena takes very good care of her. I recommend Ximena for caring for your small dog. She and her pack are great!”
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.
“Fawn absolutely LOVES going to Christine's. Her dog, Daisy and Fawn are good buddies. A big plus s that Christine plays with Fawn. Fawn loves balls and Christine mixes up the variety of balls. I swear, when Fawn goes inn Christine's house and finds all the toys she has set up for the day's play, Fawn turns back and looks at me with the biggest, wide eyes and SMILE, I have ever seen on a dog. I recommend Christine if you are looking for a great care giver for your little dog.”

“Catlyn was fantastic. My sometimes nervous dog seemed comfortable because of how Catlyn eased her into the new environment. Kallie took her time to sniff everything in the house and yard but Catlyn’s easy attitude let Kallie feel comfortable exploring. Her dogs were sweet and Catlyn takes care to be sure all the dogs are getting along or if she needs to separate them. Her yard and home are lovely and she is too. I would recommend Catlyn as a great choice.”
“Shannon was very patient and accommodating while we tried to figure out if we would need her or not. And I'm confident our little Lily was in good hands with her. Had a very positive, easy experience...highly recommend Shannon!”
About: 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.

“I work long hours at a stressful job, so having a reliable, caring walker for my fur kiddo is invaluable to me. Elizabeth has exactly what we needed. She is prompt and communicative, and she takes good care of my pup. I highly recommend adding her to your pack!”
“My dog liked Chloe immediately and I wasn’t afraid to leave him. She arrived promptly for his walks and spent the entire time with him each time, posting pictures of each visit. He was a happy dog when I got home, not at all needy. I will call Chloe again!”
“Timber loves Ashley and we are so thankful that she's willing to handle his puppy energy! She's great to work with: punctual, responsible and a positive attitude! Thanks Ashley!”
About: Hi there! My name is Liane, and I’ve spent most of my life and career caring for animals with love and expertise. I worked as a veterinary technician at a non-profit low-cost clinic for 7 years, where I cared for sick pets, assisted veterinarians during treatments and surgeries, and administered medications. Before that, I had the unique experience of working at a zoo after earning my Bachelor’s degree in Biology. I’m experienced in handling pets with special requirements and ensuring their health, comfort, and happiness in both professional and casual settings. With me, your pets will receive attentive, compassionate, and knowledgeable care. I particularly enjoy caring for pets that are exotic or require a little extra attention. I pride myself on being responsible, punctual, and active. Your pet’s happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities, and I’m dedicated to giving them exceptional care and companionship. If my schedule works for you, I’d be delighted to meet you and your pets to see if we’re the perfect match. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns—I’d love to chat! I work full-time Monday through Friday but am available during evenings and weekends to care for your pets. The amount of time I can dedicate will depend on the distance, so proximity will play a key role in my availability. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in the environment they know best. My goal is to minimize any added stress while you’re away by maintaining their regular routine and keeping them in familiar surroundings. Sticking to their daily schedule as much as possible is a simple yet effective way we can ensure they feel safe, loved, and secure in your absence.

Have volunteered at a shelter with bathing, walking, and cleaning kennels as well as boarding dogs for friends. My availability is open depending on your needs and logistics for dog walking and drop ins.

I service the Eldon, Missouri, area to the eastside of Jefferson City, Missouri. Trips to the Taos, Missouri, dog park can be arranged. When caring for pets in your home, I abide by your rules and wishes and what your companion feels safe and comfortable with. Glad to send pictures!

About: *I plan to pause my Rover services temporarily beginning in June 2026 due to maternity leave* Hello humans and furry friends! My name is Kenzie, and I absolutely love animals. I grew up raising family dogs since I was 10. I now have my own two cats that I’ve been raising since they were 6-8 weeks old. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I work from home with my own vehicle, so I can easily come to your pets on your schedule. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow yours to keep them happy and comfortable. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy giving pets my full attention which incudes: plenty of cuddles, playtime, and affection! I treat every furry friend as if they were part of my own family, and I will ensure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. I have my own cat who can be a little feisty at times, so I’m totally comfortable with sassy kitties! I’m also experienced in walking and caring for dogs and puppies of all sizes. Please share any details about your pet’s routine or specific needs in advance so I can provide the best care. I like to do meet-and-greets beforehand to meet both you and your pet, helping them feel comfortable and relaxed when I visit on my own.
About: I've had pets my entire life, and I love getting to interact with animals of all kinds. I've helped take care of a few family cats and dogs over the years, with the most recent being my mom's dog Athena. I've spent many nights over to watch her while my mom has to be away. I work a full time job at a nursing home, with a slightly strange schedule. I'm off every other weekend and each week switches between me being off on Tuesday or Thursday. It depends on the pet. I've had to deal with a very stubborn dog, and escape artist, and a few other interesting personalities. Each one has to be cared for in slightly different ways. It also depends on the rules set by the owners. I don't want to do something that would go against what an owner has taught their pet unless it was abusive.
About: With seven years of experience fostering dogs and a lifelong passion for animal care, I provide loving and reliable pet sitting for all kinds of furry companions. As a dedicated pet parent to a playful 1.5-year-old pittie pup and a gentle 9-year-old Great Pyrenees mix, I understand the unique needs of pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments.

We do prefer to keep only medium and small dogs. This is for both your pup's safety and comfort as well as ours. We understand how difficult it is to leave your fur-baby but we want to make it a little easier on both you and your baby!

About: I have experience working with and caring for a variety of animals (Dogs, Cats, Birds, Chickens) including feeding, grooming, exercising, and monitoring their overall health and well-being. I have 2 dogs, black/tan coonhound Waylon, and Black/tan mini dachshund Molly, and my orange tabby cat Garfield. Through my interactions with animals, I have developed patience, responsibility, and strong observation skills, allowing me to recognize changes in behavior and respond appropriately to their needs. I am comfortable handling animals in a safe and compassionate manner and understand the importance of maintaining clean living environments, following care routines, and ensuring animals receive proper attention and enrichment. My experience has strengthened my commitment to providing quality care and promoting the welfare of animals. I am currently working at a boarding facility and dog groomer but have a lot of time around work to help care for your pets! I'm also available during the weekend. I currently have 2 dogs at my house that use an electric fence and they use kennels as well. When I take them out, I use a good leash and make sure to have a tight grip.
About: I've always loved animals ever since I was a little girl. Since the age of 9 I've been around all kinds of animals besides dogs and cats. Like birds and reptiles that kinda thing. When I do pet sit for someone I usually try to see what the dogs or cats favorite toy or treat is. Then would go and buy a little goody bag for them, just to tell them that there a good girl or a good boy! Besides watching your pets I try to make sure to tidy up your house and to make sure it's nice before you come home. I'm also a quick learner and would help if your animal needs a certain kind of medicine or treatment. I have some experience with that already but I love to learn new things! I'm currently only working weekends part time. It's just not enough for me and since I love animals why not be a pet sitter or just your everyday dog walker. I try my very best to get to know your pet as much as possible. More like I'll treat your pet like how I treat my own. For an example if they have allergies I'll make a quick note and make sure that I don't give them anything there not supposed to have.

Like I said above I groom dogs already on the weekends so people see and trust me with their pets daily! I have had dog and pets my whole life
“Sam was great with my shy girl and she is already pretty comfortable with her. That is unusual, because Gracie takes a long time to trust people. Matilda is shy but loves walks so she is easy and Charlie thinks everyone is here to spoil him. All 3 came home with tails high, and that is the most important thing. Sam did super with my babes.”

“I hate to be honest here. For fear that Kate and Ken will not be available when we need them in the future. They were so attentive to Tripp. Their dogs and our dog played so much. I received pictures and videos daily showing the smile on his face. We don’t have a yard as big as theirs. Or other dogs for him to play with. So this was a real treat for him. They understand our dog’s communication style. Let him be a dog. Play like a puppy. But also balanced it with the guidance and directions he is used to. Both Ken and Kelly were exactly what we hoped for when we signed up for care. We drove 40 minutes to drop him off and pick him up. Both my husband and I believe it is worth it. Previously Tripp had been boarded at a kennel. I started using Rover in hopes that he would get more interaction with dogs and humans while we were gone. Boy! Did Ken and Kelly do that! Thank you for loving him like one of your family!”
“Our dog had a great time boarding with Lisa. There was lots of love, outdoor time, and playtime with the sweet host’s dogs. We had a schedule conflict, and Lisa was very kind and accommodating to our last-minute request. We would love to reserve service with Lisa in the future!”
“Samantha and Jesse are amazing - they sent photos everyday and gave me updates as well. I knew my pup was in good hands with them and I felt at ease knowing he was so well taken care of!”
“Sabine took amazing care of my fur-baby Roscoe. She had excellent communication and shared photo updates throughout each day. I would definitely book Sabine again in the future!”
“We left our two dogs with Daniel while we went out of town for three nights and loved the daily pictures and updates that we got. Would absolutely recommend Daniel to anybody!”

“Sydney was great to work with to make Ian's stay comfortable and safe. He is an old dog and I was concerned that his special needs, which require medications on a schedule would be too disruptive to Sydney's routine but she had no problem. I really appreciated the prompt and solid communication.”
“Sierra was amazing ! She took good care of Cody and he was happy when I picked him up. I could tell that he felt very comfortable with her and her family. I would definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her for any service.❤️❤️🐾🐾”
“My dog, Joy had the best time with her. She took great care of Joy, and I was able to travel for a month with peace of mind. She is like family to me and Joy. I want to express my gratitude and hope we can meet again in the future.”
“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!”
“Highly recommended, Naee went above and beyond for our fur-baby Star. We will definitely be coming back to her again when we need the help ? Thanks so much for taking great care of our ⭐️”
“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!”
“Stephanie is hands down the single best dog sitter on this app. She is so responsive and sends the best, most detailed updates! She truly cares for my pup and I literally have 0 worries when he’s with her while I’m away. I can’t say enough how wonderful she is and how highly I recommend her! 10/10.”
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.
“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.”
“Haley was an outstanding host and our pup had the best time! She even made the dogs a Thanksgiving meal (dog-friendly of course) for the holiday. This truly was a 5-star experience.”
