My dog was taken care of like family, introduced to the pack, and enjoyed all sorts of fun activities. I am happy with the services that I received and am very thankful of my pups stay! Thank you Thomas 🙏🏽”
“Absolutely the best!! Left our chihuahua Bandit with McKenzie for 6 nights. McKenzie gave me daily pictures and updates on Bandit. He adjusted well in her home and became besties with one of her fur babies. She has a nice large fenced in yard so he got plenty of exercise & kept safe. Bandit is a spoiled baby & McKensie definitely treated him as if was her own baby. I couldn’t have asked for more. If I need a sitter for my baby again it will definitely be McKenzie.”
About: My experience with animals is over 15 years. From walking/ feeding and watering/ playing fetch/ to giving medicine when needed. Your babies from young to old are given the best in my care. I'm a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! The town I live is small and quiet so your pup should be extra cozy here. I have a cozy shaded (with plenty of room to move about) pen where your pup will stay when I'm not supervising them in the big fenced yard or talking walks.
“Cheyenne was very flexible with my schedule. I was on vacation and we were going floating. On the day Cheyenne was supposed to watch my dog, the river was swollen and dangerous to float. She went above and beyond to accommodate for the situation. She was prompt on pickup and drop off, communicated effectively and overall a sweet girl”

“Haley was an amazing dogsitter!!! Our dog stayed at her house for four nights and she treated her like one of her own family! She was very loving and went above and beyond my expectations. It was wonderful because we were working a lot and I didn't have to worry at all about our dog. She was readily available on her phone and took cute pictures. I'm excited for Haley to dogsit again!”
“Sabrina took such great care of my pup! She gave him plenty of exercise and sent me pictures throughout his stay which assured me that he was in great care. He had a blast with Sabrina and her dogs!

About: Hi dog owners! I have several years of experience taking care of dogs. I have two back home that I love and miss dearly. I know they require our special care and attention and I hope I can help be of service to you and your fur babies when needed. I work full time Monday-Friday but I’m home every night. I’m usually around on weekends for any pet sitting needs. Please reach out for any potential bookings or questions you may have. I currently live in a pet-free environment, no smoking, etc. I do have a few littles every other weekend so getting along with kiddos is a must on those weekends.
About: I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have a dog. I currently have a very loving Great Pyrenees. I lost my Cocker Spaniel last summer so I have room in my heart and home to help people out when they want to travel. I understand the delimma of owning a dog and getting away so rest assured, help is here! I have a beautiful hobby farm and your dog will enjoy sniffing around with my big girl, Bonnie! I am retired and have lots of hobbies that keep me home most of the time. Your dog won't ever be left alone for more than 2-3 hours at a given time. I am new to Rover but I have often cared for friends and family pets in my home. I am in a very rural area and my yard isn't fenced. But maybe, on a busy day, one car passes my house. I wouldn't let a dog unfamiliar with me or my home run lose, but rest assured, there is no where for them to go here. Your dog will be happy and well cared for in my home.

“Ashley was great! She gave the friendly cat lots of attention, and she made an incredible effort to keep track of the one that wouldn’t come out. Her updates and pictures made me feel comfortable being away from my cats. I really appreciated the care she gave to them.”
About: I’ve had my own pets from a young age, getting my own shortly after college. Looking to give Salem MO some options for drop in visits. I will typically be available after work to visit, feed, and play with your beloved pets. I will get off work around 4 pm daily. I will gladly meet your pet need requirements. I have experience with giving meds and special diets and of course giving all the loving attention.
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for cats—along with a wide range of other animals, including exotics—I understand that cats aren’t just pets, they’re family with very specific personalities and needs. From shy, independent kitties to high-energy or special-needs cats, I’m attentive to their routines, boundaries, and comfort. Whether it’s feeding, litter care, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I make sure your cat feels safe, respected, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have had pets my entire life, primarily cats as well as a few dogs. I currently have a dog and cat, so taking care of either is second nature. I have also had two cats at one time and understand the nature of multi-cat households. I have pet sat many times for friends and family. These include homes with multiple dogs, multiple cats, a mix, and even a snake. Reptiles and rodents don't bother me! These experiences have also included long-term stay (1 week+) and animals with additional care needs (senior, diabetic with necessary insulin injections at meals). I am currently in vet tech school so I know what to look for to keep your pets safe! I also have experience volunteering in shelters with many animals of different temperaments.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lenox
About: My experience with animals is over 15 years. From walking/ feeding and watering/ playing fetch/ to giving medicine when needed. Your babies from young to old are given the best in my care. I'm a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! The town I live is small and quiet so your pup should be extra cozy here.

About: We love animals and have cared for every type of animal from farm animals, reptiles, cats, dogs and more. I pride myself on being very detail oriented and having a pristine home. Our dogs are part of family and yours will be treated the same. We have a large fenced in yard and They will be welcome in our home as soon as they want to come in and cool down. My children respect animals and love to meet new ones. We have only hardwood floors. I’m a stay at home mom and fur mama. I am home all week and would love to care for your pets along side mine. I have 1 acre of fenced in land here to keep your dogs safe as they play, my dogs are very friendly and love other dogs to play with. I have plenty of room to crate your dogs if needed.
About: I grew up in a family where animals weren’t just pets—they were part of our daily life and the heartbeat of our home. Over the years, we cared for everything from cats and dogs to horses, cattle, and chickens. There has never been a moment in my life without at least one dog or cat by my side. That lifelong connection turned into a genuine passion for animal care. Because of that, I’m working toward opening my own boarding facility—one that will not only care for family pets, but will also take in strays and rescues who need a safe place to land. Using this app is my first step in that journey. I’m here to: build meaningful relationships with pets and their owners gain hands-on experience with a variety of animals and personalities earn supplemental income to invest directly into the boarding and rescue facility establish a future client base built on trust, reliability, and genuine care Your pets will be treated like they’re part of my family—because caring for animals is something I’ve done my entire life, and something I take pride in doing well. Pet care is a major part of my everyday life. I recently left my full-time job so I could dedicate myself fully to working with animals and building my future boarding and rescue facility. That means I’m able to structure my days entirely around pet care — not squeeze it in between shifts or treat it like a side task. Every week, my schedule is centered on drop-ins, walks, feedings, playtime, and enrichment. I set aside dedicated time each day specifically for pet visits, check-ins, updates, and keeping each pet’s routine consistent. Because this is my full focus now, I’m able to be flexible, reliable, and fully present with every animal I care for. Whether it’s a single visit or multiple pets throughout the week, your pet becomes part of my daily rhythm — and they’ll always get calm, attentive, and consistent care. How I Care for Pets in My Home and in Clients’ Homes My goal is always to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on the same routine they’re used to. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I make sure they get calm, consistent attention and all the essentials they need. In Your Home: When I’m caring for pets in their own environment, I follow your instructions exactly so their routine stays steady. Here’s what you can expect: • Fresh food and water on your preferred schedule • Clean litter boxes or outdoor potty breaks • Daily enrichment, playtime, and companionship • Respect for your home, your space, and your pet’s boundaries • Clear communication and photo updates every visit • Extra patience for shy, anxious, or rescue pets • Medication or special care needs handled as instructed I make sure everything stays clean, calm, and familiar — which helps pets feel secure while you’re away. In My Home (if applicable): In my home, pets get a safe, supervised environment with plenty of love and structure. They receive: • A quiet, calm space to relax • Regular feeding times and fresh water • Enrichment toys, cozy bedding, and comfortable hangout spots • Supervised play and attention based on their personality • Respect for crate routines or safe spaces if they prefer them I keep their environment low-stress and easy to settle into. Overall Care Approach: No matter where your pet is staying, I treat them like one of my own — with patience, consistency, and the kind of care that prioritizes their comfort and happiness. I tailor my approach to each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs so they feel understood and well cared for.
“Johanna is awesome! We had a quick short notice and late drop off and pick up time but she manage to work with our schedule and able to take care of our furbaby girl. We will definitely get her again next time if we need somebody to watch our furbaby. Pebbles had definitely a great time! Thank you Johanna!”
About: I have had pets my entire life and leaving them for longer than I'm used to is so hard. I've been with dogs that are hours old and I've been with dogs in their final moments. I do work 8.5 hour shifts 3-4 days a week. So while I couldnt care for them while I am at work before/after and and on my days off I am more than available. I require a meet and greet for new clients just so I know where all of thier stuff is and so the pets meet me with thier owners for the first time and it is less stressful. I can crate animals take them for walks, take them out in the backyard. Anything to burn energy before being left home alone again.
“Very communicative and did a wonderful job with our boy. I was so nervous to leave him but Taylor did a great job taking care of him. goose was worn out after a long day of playing”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets for years! I would love to take the weight off of your shoulders and help you with you pets!

About: I was raised with lots of puppies and other animals. I have two fur babies now, Oakley and Remi! I would love to visit your babies and keep them company while you are away from them. I work full time but have a couple days off a week on a rotating schedule. I am willing to travel and make our schedules work together as best as possible. Leaving your pets is very difficult but I would love to be able to help ease your worries! I am responsible and trustworthy. You would not have to worry about the job not getting done.
About: My experience with animals is over 15 years. From walking/ feeding and watering/ playing fetch/ to giving medicine when needed. Your babies from young to old are given the best in my care. I'm a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! The town I live is small and quiet so your pup should be extra cozy here. I have a cozy shaded (with plenty of room to move about) pen where your pup will stay when I'm not supervising them in the big fenced yard or talking walks.
About: I have experience volunteering with all kinds of animals and love them dearly! Back home, we have 4 family dogs which I've helped to train since they were just puppies. I love dogs of all ages and can't wait to treat your pup like family. I choose my own work and school schedule to ensure the most time spent with your pet! I am happy to provide potty breaks, extra feedings, or oral medications if necessary. I also would love to take your dog on walks! I have a dog, but she stays at home with her dog dad when I petsit. Safety is my top priority. I am careful to leave doors closed and locked, and to ensure harnesses are carefully put on to make sure your pup is secure.
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds— including dogs, cats, and even exotic animals— I bring both knowledge and genuine compassion to every job. I understand that pets are family, not just animals, and I treat them with the same attentiveness, patience, and respect I’d want for my own. Whether it’s daily care, special routines, or unique needs, I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m chronically self-employed because I love the flexibility it offers. I’m used to taking on a variety of jobs and adjusting to my client’s needs week to week. I will never take a job I can’t fully commit to, so you can rest assured I will give your pets my full attention when they’re on my schedule. Every pet has their quirks so it’s important to have fully transparent communication with my clients. I will always encourage a meeting with the clients and pets prior to the job starting, as I believe it’s best to get familiar with the pets and their home. I often request to visit at the time I’d normally visit while the client is away, because I want to see the walking/feeding/crating routine in its fullness. I ask a lot of questions and take notes to make sure we’re on the same page. I also request the clients to leave me their contact info, vet’s info, and an emergency contact’s info to make sure I can be prepared for any emergencies that may arise. I encourage clients to ask any questions they have, even if it seems silly. Likewise, if I have any questions, I will ask them instead of guessing. I often send pictures and updates throughout the stay. I stay off my phone as much as possible to be alert and cautious. I take care of your pets the way I’d want someone to take care of mine.
