“Taylor was great! She made her home super comfy for our two dogs; one of which tends to be very anxious. Taylor put her at ease, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation, knowing our pups were being well loved.”


“Susan and her family were absolutely amazing with our goldendoodle! We received multiple pictures and updates throughout the day and felt completely at ease, while on our vacation. We knew they were treating our pup so well, we actually booked another boarding for our next vacation! Very thankful for this family!!”


“Laura was the absolute best! Took in my anxious big baby pittie and loved him from the first second. My boy seemed so comfortable and Laura provided pictures, videos and updates during my 24 hours away from Blue. I couldn't be happier or have asked for a better person to care for my boy 💙🩵”

“Trisha took great care of my dog. He had a last minute issue and needed extra care and she not only still took him in she did a great job tending to him and keeping me updated though out the weekend”

“Briah did a great job with my dog. She took him on many walks, showered him with love and kept me updated with pictures and messages. My dog looked happy and well taken care of when I picked him up, and now every time we walk by Briah’s place he wants to go in. It was also very easy to communicate with Briah, I certainly would recommend her to anyone and I am going to book her again.”

“Derrika is the GREATEST! I am so happy I found her. She and her family are so nice and their love of animals is very apparent. I loved the pics she sent throughout the day. Within the first few hours of my Yogis first visit she sent me a pic of my doggo with his head in her sons lap. He only does this when he is EXTREMELY comfortable. Knowing Yogi is in excellent hands helps both his & my separation anxiety when we can’t be together. She is a true gem”

“Great experience. We left two dogs overnight. We had an emergency out of state and needed to leave our two dog overnight and most of the next day. Nathen was very accommodating with the last minute request. Our girls had never been left before, but Nathen provided updates and picture to help ease my anxiety, in an already stressful situation. The girls were happy and taken care of. Will recommend Nathen to friends. If needed will use him again.”

“Sara is very organized, professional and thoughtful! She sent updates and pictures while Dexter was staying at her house. Made me feel at ease and knew he was being well taken care off while we were out of town. Will be reaching out again, thanks Sara!”

“I can’t say enough good things about this family! We felt totally at ease while we were out of town because immediately we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have a basset hound mix and a Great Dane and they handled both with ease! We booked them for 3 additional trips the same day we picked our dogs up from the first stay. I highly recommend them!”

“She was great with my two dogs! My dogs were very anxious at the start of their stay since it was their first time being boarded and she was very comforting to them and me! Thank you Olga!”


“Crissy was very flexible with us! She has great communication and great prices. My dog got along just fine with her animals. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Brandi is absolutely wonderful! She has a depth of knowledge with training dogs and my 8 month old strong willed puppy came back so well behaved and exhausted! Perfect! Both Harry (said puppy) and I can't wait for another visit with Brandi. Highly recommend!!”
“Olga has watched our pups a couple of times now and she is fantastic! She kept us updated with sweet photos, took them for walks, and send lots of photos. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“Excellent. Our 12 year old beagle took to him immediately. He was kind and very understanding how special our pup is to us. No problems at all! Very responsive and we could tell all went well. Will absolutely use again and encourage anyone to schedule a stay. You can travel knowing your fur bay is in excellent hands.”

“Stephanie is the perfect person to watch our dogs. They immediately felt comfortable with her and the pics showed how happy they were during their stay. Will certainly get in touch with Stephanie the next time we need help!”

“This was our first experience using Rover and we were so pleased! Rachel (and her husband and her beautiful Great Dane named Bixby) watched our dog for 2 weeks while we were on a trip. Our dog has anxiety issues so we wanted to meet Rachel before so that our dog could get comfortable around her. Rachel was so accommodating! We actually got to meet up twice before our trip. Rachel even welcomed us to her home so that our dog could get used to the new environment and meet the other dogs. We hung out and chat for probably an hour. I'm certain this helped our baby tremendously when we left. This was a lot of extra time Rachel put in for our doggo's wellbeing, and we are so grateful. We were concerned for our poor nervous dog, and Rachel put our minds at ease by sending us pictures and videos almost every day, with little updates. She got along with the other pups, and she looked to be having fun! Despite all of our best efforts, our pupper was clearly sad we were gone and didn't want to eat very much. She lost a bit of weight in those two weeks (which is no surprise given her separation anxiety), but based on her behavior when we picked her up, I know that Rachel and her husband did her right. They clearly earned her trust as she went up to them for cuddles, even when we were available for cuddles. That said more to me than anything else and spoke volumes as to how well our baby was cared for.”

“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”

“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”

“Jessica was great! She was very respectful of my home and made sure Spot got the kind of food she wanted. She brings a lot of experience and knowledge when she comes to take care of your pet!”


“There’s no possible way that Amanda isn’t Gibby’s new favorite person. She spent so much quality time with her and gave us the most wonderful updates. She even noticed a non-emergent condition our cat had and without hesitation, picked up meds and treated her while we were away. We can’t recommend Amanda enough. We’ve had at least 5 other people in the past check in on our kitties and she was world’s above our other experiences. 10/10 Gibby approved!”


“I couldn’t have asked for a better, Pet Sitter! Leaving my cat while I was on vacation is never easy but from the moment I met Theresa, I knew they were in excellent hands. She is attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. She really took the time to get to know my cats, so they were comfortable around her. And I was so thankful she was able and willing to give insulin injections to my diabetic cat. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how each visit went. It gave me so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief to find someone who treats your pets like their own. I would absolutely trust Theresa again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and top-notch Pet Sitter!”


“Taylor was amazing taking care of our cats while we were on a two week vacation. She came by daily and gave our senior girls their food and meds as well as a lot of love, which brought us so much peace of mind. Will absolutely book her again for our future vacations!”


“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! Her care was top notch and I felt so secure leaving my kiddos with her. I genuinely think that one of my cats, Toast was disappointed to see us, and not Jennifer. She gave great updates and photos at every visit and we appreciated her so much! I will absolutely contact Jennifer again for care of our kitties.”

“Jasmine has been a lifesaver for the 2 kitties! They were available on short notice and have gone above and beyond to help with the cats health needs. Jasmine was communicative and sent lots of photos! I would highly recommend Jasmine!!”


“Thank you Keesha for doing all you could to keep my kitty stress free while we were gone. And for all the updates which kept me stress free ?.”

“Rachel was the perfect fit for my cat Ruthie! She connected right away with her. I love the report card details of observations Rachel made as well as the photos or Ruthie I received from her while I was away. I would highly recommend Rachel and Rover in general. What a wonderful service they provide with wonderful caregivers!”


“Kodiak was the best! They were super reliable, sent us updates and photos every day, and took great care of our kitties. It was really nice not having to worry when we were gone! When we got home there was a handwritten card and toys left for our cats, that was such a thoughtful touch and honestly made our day. We’d absolutely rebook and would recommend them to anyone! :)”

“Emma is great. She got my shy cat to warm up to her immediately. It's clear she has a way with animals and is great with communication. Her care really set my mind at ease while I was away!”

I share my home with my cherished cat, Athamé, and always connect effortlessly with feline friends. I'm excited to offer your cat the same level of care and attention!

“Jackson’s level of care and attentiveness is top tier. Communications throughout remained as prompt, detailed, and reassuring as anyone could hope for! Will be rebooking in the future for sure.”


“I really appreciated Evelyn's flexibility with this booking. The nature of this trip meant that my exact return time was a moving target, and Evie was communicative, adaptive, and helpful in making sure there was no interruption in Pippa's care, which was a huge aid to me in a time of stress.”

“Trisha took care of Spooki as if Spooki was her own. She comforted Spooki, and became her friend and mine too. I absolutely feel like I left Spooki in the best possible hands. Thank you, Trisha. -William”

“Our dogs love their visits from Kyle and we love knowing we have someone we can trust popping by to take care of them. Kyle is a great communicator and really helped us navigate our care needs.”

“I booked with Taylor to watch my dog for a couple hours one morning. He has separation anxiety. She understands the needs for a dog with SA and was able to help manage his nerves while we were gone for some errands.”

“Christine was awesome! I booked the night before at the very last minute for all-day doggy daycare, and she responded immediately! She took such good care of my pup who came back happy, calm, and obviously had a LOT of good playtime. I definitely would recommend Christine - I know I'll be booking her again!”

“Trent and Kalyn took great care of my dog! She really enjoyed her time with them! It can be so scary leaving your furry loved one with someone you don’t know, so it was a great relief to find Trent & Kalyn to care for her! They were accommodating and very communicative-and I am so appreciative!”

“Max had a good time at Brent’s house. It was his first time there and he seemed to really connect! Brent sent pictures throughout the day and Max had a good time. Will definitely take him there again!”

“Another great daycare experience. Naji is so flexible and I love how she returns the food containers cleaned and returns the baggies the dog food was sent in. I appreciate her so much.”


“Ron provided a safe and comfortable setting for an anxious rescue dog who had never before been boarded. He gave Peanut the space he needed and waited for the dog to come around. Any other approach would probably have heightened Peanut's stress. Ron is patient. He also doesn't rely on a cage, another reason we picked him. Hoping for future visits. ”

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him. He loves hanging out with you. It's funny because we will tell him where he's going in the morning and he gets so excited!”

“Jessica was great! You can tell she truly cares about building relationships with the dog as she came to our home to meet our pup before watching her solo. Communication was great and she was very respectful of our home.”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets for a decade and love playing and interacting with them. I try to make a comfortable environment for them to live safely and happily. I’m a teacher on summer break who loves staying home with my own dog and cats and happy to help take care of yours when you need it! Fenced yard was the first addition we made when moving in because I know how important it is for dogs to get some unrestrained outdoor time. Plenty of rooms and lounging spots. My pets can be secluded if needed for a stress-free stay. My partner occasionally works from home and loves dogs as well so your pet will have a bonus person to play with :)
About: Hi! I'm Brooklyn, and I've been around dogs my entire life.

“I have been so pleased with Kodiak walking my dog on a regular basis. I get great feedback and pictures of of Barbie out on her walk. It’s been a relief to find someone so responsible and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend Kodiak to anyone who needs a trusted dog walker or sitter!”

I’m very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any specific needs your pet may have. I also have hands-on experience caring for my diabetic cat, including administering insulin injections and monitoring routines. Because of this, I’m comfortable supporting pets with medical needs and understand the importance of consistency, timing, and gentle handling.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 12. I have plenty of experience so your pet will be very well taken care of I work on Ward Parkway at Burns & McDonnell. I have every other Friday off as well as the weekends. I usually work 6:30-4:30 and work from home 1 day a week. Anything after work or any time during the days where I work from home or don’t work fit into my schedule perfectly! I always try to play with them when they want to if I’m not too busy and like to walk/play with them before leaving them alone so they’re tired and don’t have too much energy when they’re home alone
About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I have full time evening employment. I am available to care for pets Sunday-Thursday 9am to 2pm (meaning my latest available visit would start at 1:30pm for an 30 min visit), and All day Fridays and Saturdays! I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut. Please let me know if your pet has these behaviors so I can be prepared before the visit.

“Kat was absolutely amazing. I originally asked for 1 walk but then I realized I wouldn’t be getting back to my babies for another day. When I let Kay know she was eager to help and walk my babies again the next morning. She even fed them! When I got back they were happy to see me but I know they enjoyed Kat! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You are a life saver!!!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but what really sets me apart is hands-on experience actually raising and training one myself. I grew up training my German Shepherd from a young age, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand dog behavior, not just watch them. As a student athlete, I’m very active, so I naturally bring a lot of energy to walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, some need structure and training, while others need calm, gentle care, especially seniors. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, handling larger or high-energy breeds, and making sure pets feel safe and understood while their owners are away. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and building trust. As a college student athlete, I keep a very structured schedule, which actually makes me reliable and consistent when it comes to pet care. I plan my days around responsibilities, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given attention on time. I also work part-time at a golf course, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I enjoy, being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it gives me a break from school and sports while still staying active. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening care, I’m used to balancing multiple commitments and staying dependable. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, play, and any training habits they’re used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment, making sure everything stays clean, safe, and stress-free. I give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, and I always keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands. I’m especially attentive to energy levels and behavior, whether that means getting a high-energy dog out for a long walk or just spending calm time with a more relaxed or older dog.

About: I’ve spent 7+ years caring for pets of all kinds, taking the time to learn each one’s routine, quirks, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to help with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra care. I work a full-time job from 10–5 on weekdays, so I schedule pet care around my work hours. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, playtime, or visits. When I’m with pets, I give them my full attention and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for, even with my regular work schedule. I provide attentive, patient care whether I’m at your home or mine. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family, giving plenty of attention, cuddles, and play. I always prioritize their happiness, health, and comfort.
About: Hi everyone! I am an animal lover and would love to help you out by letting your pets out during the day, taking them on walks, or even watching them while you are out of town. I have grown up with both dogs and cats all my life, as of right now though I currently only have a cat but love dogs just as much. I’m extremely patient, understanding, and trustworthy. I’m comfortable with both large and small dogs, and of course puppies! I am flexible with whatever your pet’s needs might be, just let me know and I’m sure we can figure out a way to provide them with the care that they need. I look forward to meeting you all and your pets! I currently work full time during the week but free in the evenings. I am available during the week after 4p and anytime on the weekends. I currently live in an apartment so if pets stayed with me, they would need to be comfortable with cats and quiet due to apt living. I am comfortable coming to your house and looking after dogs or cats.
About: I’m an animal lover, and have had pets throughout my entire life, primarily dogs and cats but also small animals. I have house sat and pet sat for friends and co-workers on occasion if they leave to go on vacation. I would help feed, walk, clean up after, and play with dogs and cats. I would love to provide love and care for your fur babies while you’re away! Every morning I make sure my pets have food and water before leaving for work for the day. When I get home from work, I will make sure I clean up any messes and do a manual cycle on the Litter Robot. In the evening, I provide my cats with some wet food (primarily pate) as their evening meal. For my cats, I make sure my cats always stay inside to prevent pests and injuries/illnesses. Every morning I make sure my pets have food and water before leaving for work for the day. When I get home from work, I will make sure I clean up any messes and do a manual cycle on the Litter Robot. In the evening, I provide my cats with some wet food (primarily pate) as their evening meal. When sitting in a friend’s house with dogs, I would make sure that their dogs have plenty of water and have eaten that day. I make sure the dogs get to go outside to take care of business, and go for a walk if necessary. I make sure they receive plenty of attention and love while their owner is away.
About: I grew up with a lab/pitbull mix, and have lived with other big dogs. I get along with all puppies, and am down to lounge with them, walk them, or play! I am a remote worker, so I plan to walk dogs on my lunch break (approximately 12 PM - 1 PM). I can also check in on dogs and feed them as needed. I always make sure they have food and water, and feel safe in their environment. I’m not one to push a dog out of their comfort zone, but I will always approach your puppy with kindness and consideration.

“Taylor was great! She made her home super comfy for our two dogs; one of which tends to be very anxious. Taylor put her at ease, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation, knowing our pups were being well loved.”


“Susan and her family were absolutely amazing with our goldendoodle! We received multiple pictures and updates throughout the day and felt completely at ease, while on our vacation. We knew they were treating our pup so well, we actually booked another boarding for our next vacation! Very thankful for this family!!”


“Laura was the absolute best! Took in my anxious big baby pittie and loved him from the first second. My boy seemed so comfortable and Laura provided pictures, videos and updates during my 24 hours away from Blue. I couldn't be happier or have asked for a better person to care for my boy 💙🩵”

“Trisha took great care of my dog. He had a last minute issue and needed extra care and she not only still took him in she did a great job tending to him and keeping me updated though out the weekend”

“Great experience. We left two dogs overnight. We had an emergency out of state and needed to leave our two dog overnight and most of the next day. Nathen was very accommodating with the last minute request. Our girls had never been left before, but Nathen provided updates and picture to help ease my anxiety, in an already stressful situation. The girls were happy and taken care of. Will recommend Nathen to friends. If needed will use him again.”

“I can’t say enough good things about this family! We felt totally at ease while we were out of town because immediately we knew our dogs were in good hands. We have a basset hound mix and a Great Dane and they handled both with ease! We booked them for 3 additional trips the same day we picked our dogs up from the first stay. I highly recommend them!”

“She was great with my two dogs! My dogs were very anxious at the start of their stay since it was their first time being boarded and she was very comforting to them and me! Thank you Olga!”

“Brandi is absolutely wonderful! She has a depth of knowledge with training dogs and my 8 month old strong willed puppy came back so well behaved and exhausted! Perfect! Both Harry (said puppy) and I can't wait for another visit with Brandi. Highly recommend!!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and we were so pleased! Rachel (and her husband and her beautiful Great Dane named Bixby) watched our dog for 2 weeks while we were on a trip. Our dog has anxiety issues so we wanted to meet Rachel before so that our dog could get comfortable around her. Rachel was so accommodating! We actually got to meet up twice before our trip. Rachel even welcomed us to her home so that our dog could get used to the new environment and meet the other dogs. We hung out and chat for probably an hour. I'm certain this helped our baby tremendously when we left. This was a lot of extra time Rachel put in for our doggo's wellbeing, and we are so grateful. We were concerned for our poor nervous dog, and Rachel put our minds at ease by sending us pictures and videos almost every day, with little updates. She got along with the other pups, and she looked to be having fun! Despite all of our best efforts, our pupper was clearly sad we were gone and didn't want to eat very much. She lost a bit of weight in those two weeks (which is no surprise given her separation anxiety), but based on her behavior when we picked her up, I know that Rachel and her husband did her right. They clearly earned her trust as she went up to them for cuddles, even when we were available for cuddles. That said more to me than anything else and spoke volumes as to how well our baby was cared for.”

“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”

“Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!”

“We love Cassie and Ben so much for our dog that we actually changed the dates of our trip so our dog could stay with what worked for their schedules. They are the absolute best! We will continue to use them every time we need a home away from home for our dog.”

“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”

“If you are looking for one of the best dogsitters, look no further, Ashley is it! I truly feel like our boy, Oreo, was well taken care of and I would trust leaving him with Ashley again and again. Oh and her dog, Diega, what a sweetheart and the perfect playmate for our boy. Thank you again, Ashley!!! ❤️”

“First time using Christine and it was a great experience. Communication was easy and consistent, and our dogs seemed happy and comfortable when we got home. Everything went smoothly and we felt good knowing they were well cared for. We’d definitely use Christine again.”

“Awesome boarding family. Anne went above and beyond for my untamed puppy. She had all types of activities for him and a family of fur babies that welcomed my little one with opened arms. Highly recommend!”

About: I care for a mini golden doodle for one year since a puppy now I care for a calico cat that’s one years old thanks. I work for KCFD and have some much extra time and would love to take care of your animals I work two days on two days off every other weekend I love playing around the house with the dogs and love going on runs and walks being outside when the weather is nice is everything
“Excellent experience from start to finish! I was a little nervous dropping off our 8 month old Siberian Husky because it was our first time sending him off for boarding while we went away on vacation. Heck, it was our first time separated from him for any amount of time lol. Kristina had excellent communication from the first time I reached out and really put my mind at ease while we chatted as I dropped off our pup. She sent daily updates, either texts or pics, or both, and was quick to respond anytime I reached out. Our pup loved it there and even be-friended her German Shepherd. I can tell he misses his new buddy too by his body language after picking him up lol. He's happy to be home, but definitely bummed to part ways with his new BFF. Will absolutely make plans for Odin to stay with Kristina anytime we need boarding in the future.”
