“Victoria is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! I am very lucky to have found her for Marlowe. She keeps you informed, answers messages quickly, sends pictures, and takes fantastic care of your pup at the same time. She is my go to sitter when I visit Columbia!”
“Omg!! Margaret was heaven sent! Our cousin didn’t answer his door to get our pup just 4 1/2 short hours before our flight boarded out of Stl. I ran to Rover and begged for a last minute board. Margaret graciously accepted Teddy into her home and took such good care of him. She was very communicative and kept me informed of how he was doing over this 3 day stay. Our flights were delayed by over 12 hours she was very flexible and allowed him to stay an extra day with no problem. If you are seeking a communicative, kind, nurturing and flexible board, I 10/10 recommend her!”
“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!”
“Nicole is the BEST! Sent tons of pictures and gave multiple updates throughout our babies’ stay with her. Nicole was communicative & accommodating and we will be booking with her again!!”
“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!”
“Our 8 month old puppy Ollie stayed with Morgan while we were out of town for 5 days. It was Ollie's first time boarding somewhere and we could not have chosen anyone better! Morgan sent us multiple photos while we were gone and asked us questions when needed. Her little dog Finn was the cutest and is super easy going and friendly. We were so glad we chose Morgan and Finn, and will definitely choose them again if we need to board Ollie in the future.”
“Donna was very helpful with my last minute request. She had time to invite me over so Kushito can meet her pack before the stay. She kept me updated with videos and pictures of him! She has an amazing outdoor space. He was very happy when I picked him up and I could tell he had a lot of fun during his stay!”
“My dog, Biggie’s, stay with Natalie was so great, I almost wish I could keep her a secret! Natalie did a great job taking care of Biggie and her home was a great place for him to stay. He seemed so relaxed and comfortable from the very beginning and Natalie did a great job sending pictures and updates. We definitely plan to use her again!”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs through my professional work in veterinary care. I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of personalities, sizes, ages, and needs, including providing daily care, exercise, and following individualized routines. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need extra attention, patience, or close monitoring. I’m reliable, attentive to detail, and quick to notice changes in a pet’s behavior or wellbeing. Most importantly, I treat every dog with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 7 AM–4 PM, but I’m available before and after work, as well as during my lunch break, for pet visits and care. I’m available from 5–7 AM, 11 AM–1 PM, and 4–8 PM during the week. My weekends are completely open, so I have plenty of flexibility for longer visits, walks, drop-ins, and extended stays. I also have two cats of my own, so caring for animals is already an important part of my everyday life! I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow their feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure their pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and personalities and understand that every pet has their own routine and preferences. My professional animal-care experience has also taught me to be very attentive to changes in behavior or wellbeing. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.
“Julie was wonderful, she accommodated me for a last minute booking and the boys had a great time with her. She had never administered an insulin shot before but was comfortable learning how to and was great about communicating. Would definitely book again, thank you so much!”
“Kaila and her pup were so awesome. She was so accommodating finding a time for a meet and greet during the holidays, and again when our pick up plans changed. She sent lots of photos and videos of my dog living her best life for the weekend. Georgia had a great time and came home exhausted from playing so hard. We will absolutely book Kaila again!”
“Absolutely wonderful! First time using Sabine, my chocolate lab Morgan was well taken care of. And very tired from all the fun she had. Sabine gave my constant updates and pictures which always helps when you have to be away from your best friend. Would absolutely recommend her, and I will be a continuing client.”
About: I am very dependable and have lots of experience pet sitting. I have watched dogs with disabilities and health issues. I am trust worthy and love animals. I graduated William Woods University with an equestrian Science degree and have experience with all types of animals. I have my own transportation and am willing to stay over night. I am willing to do anything for your pet such as walking bathing and other things. I love to stay organized and keep things clean. You will never have to worry about your pets with me as I will spend a lot of time with them and make sure you feel comfortable with me taking care of them. Please consider me as your next pet sitter I promise to take the best care of your animals.
About: I think that life is about being happy and animals of all shapes and sizes make me happy! I have had multiple pets all of my life, from bearded dragons and snails to cats and dogs but now I have settled with my older toy rat terrier pup and my fat orange cat! I was able to achieve my pet first aid certification through the American Red Cross but it since expired (they are valid for one year) but I thought it was worth mentioning that I have been trained. I work in Columbia M-F but live in Holts Summit, MO. I am willing to work in Columbia, Jefferson City or Holts Summit. I’m working full time but can do check-ins/walks during my lunch break, before 8am or after 5pm on weekdays. Weekends are much more flexible as I don’t work on Saturdays or Sundays. I am comfortable with crate training and of course fenced in yards are great! I have no issues with walking pups on a leash. I live in Holts Summit where we have a leash law so leash and a decent harness would be required for stays with me. I have a huge yard to walk them around in!

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and currently have two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of kitty personalities. For the past few years, I’ve also been caring for a family friend’s cat while they’re out of town. I understand that every cat is different. Some are shy and independent, while others are ready to run, play, and demand all the cuddles! I’m happy to meet your cat wherever they’re most comfortable, whether that means giving them plenty of playtime and attention or simply keeping them company from a respectful distance. I’ll tailor each visit to your cat’s personality and needs while making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of love and care. I’ll happily be at your cat’s service. Whether they need a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or just someone to keep their kingdom running while you’re away! 🐱💕
“Morgan was a fabulous sitter for my cat, Suzy, and we are both so grateful! New to the city and was anxious about finding someone reliable and trustworthy while traveling, and Morgan really set me at ease. She was responsive and flexible, and I appreciated the daily pics she would send me of her and Suzy having fun. Will be using her in the future, and definitely recommend her for any and all pet care needs! She is the best!”
“Another great job by Kimberlee. It's obvious she really loves pets, and takes such great care of my Precious. I always know my pet is in good hands with Kimberlee. One of the best.”
“We were very impressed with Liz. She is definitely a 5 star pet sitter. Liz is very detailed, reliable and tidy. She took great care of our cat and house while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and genuinely enjoy their different personalities, routines, and quirks. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, play with, check in on, and care for their cats while they were away. I’m patient, attentive, and understand the importance of making cats feel comfortable and safe in their environment. Whether your cat is playful, shy, energetic, or independent, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care, attention, and affection while you’re away.
“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 grown up with Dogs and Cats. I have also pet/house sat for friends and family through middle school, high school and college. I have grown up with cats I’ve had/have 4 (Dizzy, Yoyo, Bast and now Tiffany!) My favorite activities with kitties are playing with the string toy, brushing, giving treats and snuggling while reading/watching Tv/doing Homework. I also like to keep the blinds open so the kittens can look out and watch the birds. Lastly of course I love watching them get the zooms! :) As far as Dogs, I’ve had/have 4 German shepherds (Apache, Zoom, Camo and Ranger), 1 husky (Cherokee) and 2 Australian Shepherds (Banjo and Max) My favorite activities with dogs are throwing the ball, running/walking, brushing/baths, snuggles and getting a snack never hurt! :) I have taken pride in self training my dog to be “good K-9 citizens” ex: No jumping, “Sit”, “Down”, “Waite”, “Leave it” and being good on the leash! You just have to figure out what the dog’s favorite reward is. It could be a toy, treat or positive pets/loving!

“Boots had a great time with Angie. He was only with her for a few hours while I was at a work event. I was surprised to find out even in his short stay he was taken for a walk! I will definitely book with Angie in the future if I’m in Columbia again.”
“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!”
“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: 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.

“My dog is all muscle, and very excitable, so not everyone is comfortable walking her. Josie was a natural! It gives me great peace of mind to know my furbaby is in good hands, and I love getting her updates and photos. Highly recommend Josie !”
“Jennifer does amazing with Flash and she oftentimes has her own leash and poop bags. She is also really flexible and oftentimes can take last minute walk requests which is truly helpful!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! I grew up with a mini dachshund and cared for him as he got older and became a senior pup. I’ve also cared for other senior dogs, and I have a special love for them, they deserve all the extra snuggles and attention. I also got a puppy when I was younger, so I know how to keep up with all that energy! With experience from puppyhood to senior care, I’m comfortable walking dogs, giving them plenty of love, and making sure they feel happy and safe. I recently moved to the area and I am looking for something to do. My schedule is pretty open and would love to fill it with pet care. When caring for a client's pet I always make sure to follow any rules the client has given me. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and snuggles while also keeping up with their feeding schedule, potty breaks, and walks.
About: I have many years of personal care with animals. Although I have not professionally cared for pets, animals are my world and I would love to give each animal the care and love they deserve! You have my trust, responsibility, and punctuality guaranteed. I am currently completing nurse practitioner school full time in Columbia, MO & I am currently not working. I would love to spend my free time taking care of others’ fur babies! I have two dogs and two cats of my own in our home. Each of these animals are easily separable to your own pet if needed!
About: I took a very active role in caring for my family dog until he tragically passed from cancer in 2019. I have also dog-sat for neighbors’ pets with particular dietary needs. Currently, I’ve been told by roommates that I have a very calming presence with our house dog. I work part time primarily in the evenings and when not working, I often have community theater rehearsals on weeknights. During the Mizzou school year I will have some classes during the day, though for no more than a few hours at a time. My current house is not available for pet boarding unless specifically negotiated. The property has a non-fenced yard and one resident dog, who does behave well with other animals. Neighborhood is safe, well-paved, and walkable.
About: I have always had at least one furry friend at home to love on and meeting new pets is what I enjoy the most! As a college student, I provide a youthful and fun yet experienced service for cats and dogs. I'm currently a student at MU with a flexible weekday schedule and free weekends. I am available during evenings and drop-ins on weekdays and full days on Saturday and Sunday. I provide in-client-home care for any aged animal within my locations range. I'm a trusted and friendly bestie for cats and dogs.
About: I love animals. I have been watching both cats and dogs for years. Anything from Long walks, simple feeds or just quality time that they love. I been animal sitting for years and have worked it as a side job off and on. Open schedule being at home almost everyday. I can take care of the fur babies anytime. who wouldn’t wanna spend time with the cute animals. Clients home I try to respect what the animal is used to. If a client tells me they can’t go upstairs, no upstairs. I’m not one to disrespect or mess up peoples homes. I try to just spend the whole time with the animals. In my home I care for many animals with different schedules and let them have space but also give them the attention all animals need. They are like our babies and I think animals need loved.
About: I am very dependable and have lots of experience pet sitting. I have watched dogs with disabilities and health issues. I am trust worthy and love animals.
