“My 5 year old golden had an amazing time with Matt, Angel, and their two sweet dogs. Tons of photos and videos, as well as a detailed (and quite funny) daily update. Lots of walks, treats, and playtime too. Would absolutely book with them again.”
“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!”
“Mary was such a friendly person and very welcoming! My pup had the best time and seemed to be right at home! Mary was very communicative and sent photos. Thank you again!”
“My pups are typically pretty nervous around new people, but they made themselves right at home with Victoria. They had so much fun and I received daily updates which helped settle my nerves more than imaginable while we were away. Victoria was always available to assist with any questions and extremely accommodating to my boys needs. We will definitely try to book with Victoria again before considering any other options! 😊”
“Brock and Rachelle were very nice and easy to work with! The location in Rover/Apple Maps doesn’t show correctly, so I recommend using Google Maps to navigate :)”
“Amanda is great! Ceasar seemed completely at ease with her. She took him on many walks and sent updates and pictures every day. I'll definitely have her keep Ceasar on our next vacation.”
“This was our first time to board our dog and we were a little nervous, but Alicen was wonderful! Our dog had a great time and we were confident she was being well cared for. We’ll definitely board with Alicen again!”
“Dani and Skye were wonderful dog sitters for our beagle, Jenny. We left Jenny with them for a week and they took great care of her. Dani texted us pictures and kept us updated on how Jenny was doing while staying with them. Dani and Skye both love animals and Jenny enjoyed being around their own dog and cat. We would highly recommend these two for anyone looking for a nurturing environment for a pet. Thanks so much!!”
“Jennifer was very accommodating to me needing someone last minute. She answered promptly and professionally. She sent me several pictures while I was gone. Her puppy and older dog both LOVED my dog and my dog seemed extremely happy in all photos and only wanted to leave because she knew it was a car ride. I will definitely use Jennifer again. 10/10 would recommend to anyone that needs reliability, fluctuation, and a person with a great attitude!”
“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 is wonderful! Roo has a great time and seems right at home in Catlyn’s home! We appreciate the communication and photo updates. It’s clear Roo gets so much love at Catlyn’s!”
“Mindy was very helpful by coming to visit Scooter ahead of time, a couple weeks before he went to stay with her. They made a connection right away, as she seems to have a way with dogs. She sent pictures of Scooter while he stayed with her, which was reassuring. And she offered to bring him back to our house after we returned home, which was very helpful.”
“Macee is the absolute best. The only bad thing about Macee is that she is so wonderful to my pup that I worry that my pup won’t want to come home!😉😊. Macee takes care of her in the most loving and fun way.”
“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!”
“Thank you so much to Laura and her family for taking such great care of our pups! This was our first experience using a Rover sitter while we traveled and it gave us such peace! We will definitely do it again!”
“Have had dog sitters all over the country. I have never been more comfortable than bringing out dogs to her..it's like a vacation for the dogs and stress free for us.. she is awesome, her setup is perfect.”
“Donna was quick to respond to my inquiry and schedule a meet & greet prior to booking. She was accomodating to the extended times I needed, seemed knowledgeable with dogs, sent me updates while my puppy was in her care, and I picked up a happy puppy when I got back! I will book with her again!”
“Nicole is always professional and gives us updates about our dog. I encourage everyone to use Nicole, she is great to work with! Her home is a friendly environment for dogs.”

About: I have been pet sitting since my freshman year of college, and am now in my 30s. I am especially good with older dogs who need special care - even hand feeding or adjusting what they eat for their digestive systems to handle on a given day. Let me handle them and I'll make sure they know they're loved! When the alarm goes off at 5:30 every morning, I take our two labs downstairs to go outside, and then it's back up to the kitchen for breakfast. They spend the day with my husband, and then I take them outside before bed. They are my whole world! My biggest goal is to make sure I abide by your pet's routine and disrupt their schedule as little as possible. Our animals trust us, and I never take that trust for granted.
“Jessica did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away on a cruise! She was willing to meet beforehand and asked very thoughtful questions about my situation and my cats needs in order to provide the best possible service. I highly recommend recaching out to her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Mrs. Mary was so so wonderful and accommodating! I was just a nervous wreck when I left my Tilly home, that the beginning of my vacation wasn’t even enjoyable. However, after her updates I began to feel so much better knowing I had someone there who was really taking her. I would rebook Mary again in a heartbeat.”
“Nora was fantastic with Maya! My girl is a bit skittish with new people but she warmed right up to Nora. She was super communicative with any delays because of weather which was great for me to feel assured.”
“Ali was awesome. She set up a meet and greet for our dog Mia. Mia liked her right away. Ali was very detailed and provided updates and pictures of drop ins each time. Highly recommend Ali. She is very dependable.”
“Abigail did a fantastic job of taking care of our 4 feline boys for a week. One of our guys has some special needs and she excelled in his care giving. You could tell from the photos and videos that the fur balls really appreciated her visits. Will definitely use her again when the need arises. Highly recommended.”
“Adrienna is an excellent and reliable sitter for our family of cats. Also Adrienna is willing to feed our pond fish. Having worked with many animals on a farm Adrienna is calm around our cats and efficient at performing all duties. She has stayed in touch sending photos and updates. We are so pleased with Adrienna that we booked her again.”
“Bailey was so sweet and made traveling so easy! I have 3 cats and just made it back home after our week long trip. Everyone is happy, healthy, and the house is clean! One of my cats is a bit more difficult (needs meds twice a day, is shy/hisses at new people), but she seemed to have no problems taking care of him. I highly recommend Bailey!”
About: I use to work at a dog daycare called playful pack and I have also grown up with dogs and cats for most of my life. I can work anytime on weekends, on Tuesday I can work from 1pm-12am. I am very flexible with my schedule, so just ask and i’ll see what I can do. When dog sitting or walking, I first take in account of your dog’s behavior and make adjustments. For example, if your dog gets hyper around other dogs i’ll choose a place to walk the dog in a more isolated place. I also want your dog to feel comfortable and not threatened in anyway so i’ll work with your dog to be more comfortable with me.
“I booked Jennifer last minute and she was available and absolutely fantastic! We highly recommend her and will be using her in the future. Thank you for taking care of our baby while we were away!”
About: We’re back! We took a break to have our two wonderful children and now we’re ready to take care of your pets again! My husband, Josh, and I are a team. We have been pet sitters for family and friends for many years. We love animals and we always treat them like our own. We both grew up in homes where our pets were like another family member and we grew up as animal lovers. We are unable to bring your pet to our home or stay the night at your home, but we would be willing to come to your home any time during the day to take care of your pets when you are away. Whether that is for a vacation, business trip, or when you are unable to make it home from work to let your dogs out to go potty. Brittany is a 4th grade teacher and Josh is a medical vendor. Our schedules don’t align so we are available at different times giving us a wider range of availability for you and your pets. We treat your pets and home with respect. We are able to drop by to take care of your pet or take your dog for a walk.
“Alicen is an extremely professional and knowledgeable dogsitter and caretaker. She took the time to get to know our dogs before her first visit. The day of, she excellent care of them. Our girls looked very happy in all the photos she sent! We really appreciate Alicen and highly recommend her.”
“Hannah was awesome! My cat has chronic health conditions, and she did a great job monitoring symptoms and administering meds when necessary, including keeping me up to date about how my cat was doing every day. Would definitely book her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of my own pets and others almost my entire life including feeding and watering, giving medicine and shots, helping with birthing, and bathing. I seem to just be able to get along with almost all animals which definitely helps for my desired field. I can go out and play with animals, stay in and relax with them, or do a little of both. I am a student and I am currently taking summer classes, but they are mostly online so I will likely be able to schedule around them. I do also like to workout and do some activities with friends, but I can schedule around that some as well. This fall I will be full time student at MU so I will not be able to do most things, but I may have gaps then that I could fill. I do not currently have pets at my home in Columbia, only in Sedalia. Back in Sedalia, we live more in the country so my dogs have full range of wherever they want to go. They go in and out as they please but we always make sure they have food and water when they are home. They get lots of lovin's when they are home as well. Here in Columbia I will only be able to sit at the owners house and I can follow however they would want me to take care of their animal(s). I love to pet, play with, and cuddle with animals so any kind of care or environment works for me.
“Hailea was great! She communicated regularly about my kitties and sent great photos. When I got home, they seemed well taken care of and happy. I will be booking with Hailea again!”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“Donna is great. She is so chill so all the pups are always just adorable toddlers playing in the yard, or napping on cots. Our giant baby has serious attachment disorder. Rescue dogs, eh? Anyway. Rough drop off our first time. This time, he started to get excited half a block away!!! It is so stress relieving to be able to drop off Boo, and go to appointments ts knowing he’s having fun with his friends. We will be back and back and back.”
“Alicen was awesome with my dog, very knowledgeable and dog behavior and was able to make sure my more submissive and cautious dog was comfortable!! So appreciative of how good she was!”
“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.”
“Great experience! Shannon and her husband are great and are obviously pet lovers! We have a nervous doggie and Shannon sent pics and updates. Will totally request them again!”
“Wendy and her family are excellent providers! She was in touch frequently with concerns, joys, pictures, and even video. She is very responsive to messages and had wonderful suggestions for how to improve our dog's experience. Wendy made sure we were confident and comfortable leaving our pup in her care. 100/5 stars!”
“Caleb accepted our last minute booking and was very accommodating. We had a really early drop off and a late pickup and they had no issue with that. Curry had a great time with their family. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs daycare services!”
“My dog has been getting daycare services with Ximena for about 3 weeks now and I couldn't be happier. Ximena is literally the most lovely and kind person I have ever met. She treats my dog as if she's one of her own. Ximena and her family are truly lovely people who genuinely love dogs. They always go above and beyond during my dogs visits, take tons of photos and give consistent updates. They cater to my dog and take such good care of her. I'm so happy that I found Ximena and I have no plans of ever taking her anywhere else.”
“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: We have four pups of our own and often foster 2-3 puppies at a time. We are a dog loving family. We would love to host your pup! Long time pet parents! I am a stay at home Mom. We have plenty of time to offer play, snuggles, and walks while hosting your pup and keeping them company. We have four permanent residents that are spoiled rotten. Harlo is very chill and laid back, while Martin loves to play with our frequent visitors.
“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.”
“My first experience with Rover was supposed to be with a veteran wife and mother of two. Instead it was with a man in a house with blacked out windows and probably a healthy dose of Benadryl for my dog. Mercifully my second experience was with Elliot and was absolutely perfect! He invited me into his home, introduced me to his partner and sent me daily updates with photos. I didn’t even know this was an option! I will absolutely recommend him to everyone and use his services again. I can’t thank you enough for taking care of my dog!”
About: My family has had cats ever since I was 12, I also rescued a goldendoodle 8 years ago and he has been my best friend ever since. I love all types of animals, and have experience with rabbits, horses, guinea pigs, and hamsters as well. I have been pet sitting and dog walking as a vet student for over a year now. I am a veterinary student in my clinical rotation years. I live in a duplex, meaning I have my own house with no roommates. It is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath. I can pet sit from your house if you have multiple pets and are gone for days or pet sit from my own place if you have just a cat or a smaller dog. I live in a duplex at the moment by myself without any pets, but I pet sit for friends a lot, driving over to their places to let the dogs out/walk them, feed the cats/dogs/fish and clean the litter boxes, make sure the water bowls are filled, etc.
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, so caring for dogs, cats, and other pets has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve raised and trained dogs from puppyhood to their senior years, and I understand the different needs at every stage. What sets me apart is the blend of lifelong experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I know how to handle high-energy pups who need extra playtime, provide gentle care for senior pets, and create a safe, comfortable environment for every dog in between. With two friendly dogs of my own, a Vizsla and a Wirehaired Griffon, your pup will have both human and canine companionship during their stay. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be home often, which means I can check in on your pup or cat throughout the day and give them plenty of attention. I'll make sure your pets have companionship, consistency, and comfort while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and feel at ease. With two friendly dogs and a Persian cat, your pet will have companionship, but I also know how to manage introductions and keep everyone safe and comfortable. We also have the ability to keep our pets on a separate floor of the home.
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.
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.

“Jennifer walked my dog Malory twice a week for several months. She took great pictures and I always knew Malory was safe and being properly taken care of. Jennifer is wonderful and I highly recommend her services!”
“Donna is EXCELLENT with my dogs Charlie and Buddy. They're Maltese-Shih Tzu mixes, 7 and 3 years old, and they absolutely love her and they walks she takes them on. I've watched her with my boys and based on what I've seen, would highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a walker with a great temperament and strong skills at dog handling.”
About: I have worked in professional pet care for 4 years and have been watching neighbors dogs for the past 2 years. At doggy daycare I have worked with all sizes and ages of dogs and am comfortable with all of them. I am currently and student at The University of Missouri but am still able to come to your house to watch your pet. I can stay at your house during the week or weekend, my classes are during the middle of the day so they can go out plenty of times in the morning and night. I have three dogs at home that I am very used to taking care of as well as my cat. I can follow your pets schedule so there is no difference in your care and mine.

About: Hi there, my name is Allie! Animals have always brought me joy and I love working with them. I worked at a local vet clinic for two years where I interacted with dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I am certified level 1 in Fear Free handling of dogs and cats. I have former experience working at two local dog daycares. With my vet clinic experience, I also have a senior dog who takes different types of medication daily, and I am comfortable administering meds to your pet. I have pet sat multiple ages of animals in the past, from puppies needing additional breaks and training, to seniors who need a slower pace and medication. I am working part-time currently so I have open availability for your pet! I have all school district breaks off, so I will be open more during those times as well. In my experience with animals, I understand the importance of safety and comfort for your pets. I am a level 1 certified Fear Free pet handler, and I utilize those skills to ensure your pets safety and trust. It is my goal to treat your pet like my own, and give them the love, attention, and support they need.
“Kelsi has been the perfect dog walker for my pup! I know my dog enjoys getting outside with Kelsi - on my busy days, she is a lifesaver. Kelsi has always been very communicative and responsive, as well. Highly recommend her if you are looking for genuine care for your pet.”
About: We’re back! We took a break to have our two wonderful children and now we’re ready to take care of your pets again! My husband, Josh, and I are a team.

We both grew up in homes where our pets were like another family member and we grew up as animal lovers. We are unable to bring your pet to our home or stay the night at your home, but we would be willing to come to your home any time during the day to take care of your pets when you are away.

We are able to drop by to take care of your pet or take your dog for a walk.
About: Hi, my name is Becca. I live with four dogs, two Yorkies(Cocoa and Buddy), a Pit mix and a Beagle (Doobie and Maribel)! I love to play in the backyard with them and take them on walks. I think that it’s important to show dogs you care about them, by spending time with them. I enjoy long walks especially with dogs, it’s more fun when you have a furry friend with you! I look forward to getting to know your dog and learning more about their personality. Don’t hesitate to tell me if your dog has special needs or requirements. My schedule is somewhat flexible. I am currently in paramedic school. My classes are mostly in the mornings, but my schedule is pretty flexible during the afternoons on week days. I have a fenced-in yard, and all dogs have plenty of toys to play with! I often run around in the backyard with them to help get some of their energy out!
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.
“Taylor was great! She came over the day before to meet the doggies. Even though the times I originally requested were a little difficult for her schedule that day (it was last minute,) she did all she could to make it as close as possible- and ended up being there about the time I had requested anyway. I scheduled two visits in one day, and while I said the second visit only needed to be a feed and let out in the yard - she asked if they could still go for a walk. :) She was also very observant and noticed a small scratch on one of my dogs, sent a photo, and asked if I wanted her to treat it. I really appreciate all the attentiveness; and the above and beyond she provided for my babies. Most importantly, the dogs seemed to really like her too. :) We are already planning for her to return. Thank you!”
About: I’m a HUGE animal lover and have experience taking care of all sorts of animals, from dogs, to cats, spiders, bunnies, frogs, and more! I have six cats of my own and foster medically fragile/behaviorally challenged cats from the Humane Society. It brings me so much joy when I see a cat truly start to thrive again. Because of how long I’ve been caring for animals, I’m experienced in providing a wide variety of care. Your puppy is still crate training? I can help! Your senior four-legged friend needs medication? I can do it! Your socially awkward pet doesn’t like people? That’s okay! You have an animal that most people don’t know how to care for? I guarantee you that I do. Working with animals is such a fulfilling part of my life and that’s why I’ve been doing it so long! I work an incredibly flexible job, allowing me to spend quality time with your pets while you’re away. I work with my clients and around their schedules, making pet care as stress-free as possible! I usually care for pets in my client’s home, as my home is a bit of a zoo. I work hard to ensure we have trust and boundaries established so we both feel comfortable! One of the ways I do that is by doing a meet n greet beforehand. I love to get to know the pet parents and meet the pets before I start sitting.
About: My experience with pets started at an early age, as there has never been a time in my life where I haven’t had at least one dog and cat that I absolutely adored and took care of. From fostering kittens to attending the hounds around town walking program for dogs- I’ve had a pretty wide range! I’ve completed a socializing program with my prior local humane society, pet sat many of my friends and family’s’ fur babies- as well as currently taking care of my three sweet cats! I would love to meet your pets and share some love when you aren’t able to! It brings a lot of joy to my life :) I’m currently a medical professional employed in the Columbia community but have pet sat as a side gig for many years as a way to connect with the community, meet other local pet parents, and love on others pets as if they were my own! My schedule varies and is often open the entire day. I would love to fit some pet sitting/walking opportunities into my life when I’m able! Taking care of your pets in your home is completely up to your preferred method! Every pet parent is different and I will make sure to tailor that experience to the sitting. Details and communication are the most important thing .
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other animals my entire life, and I recently worked at a small animal ICU. Due to this, I am fairly comfortable working with all sorts of dogs and temperaments, and could recognize any problems that may arise with the pet! I am currently taking classes part-time at a vet school, so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pups! I will vary how I take care of the pet based on the animal! I love wrestling, playing with, and running around with the young pups, but I also love a calm snuggle sessions for the less energetic babies!
About: I have been around pets since I was a kid. I did take care of elder dogs in the past time. I did dog-sitting the puppies. I had experience with foster dogs and my housemate in the past. I have experience with deaf dogs myself. My family and I raised a deaf dog; she is now at peace. I am currently working from home. My schedule has some flexibility that I can take care of other things such as taking care of pets. I always make sure the pets feel safe and secure in their space. I care about their boundaries in their daily routine and develop relationships with their pets.
About: I’ve been a relied upon neighborhood pet sitter for dogs, cats, chickens, and reptiles for at least 12 years. Ive also fostered “bottle baby” kittens on and off for my local humane society for 3 years. I have learned how to read the body language of and understand the needs of many species of pets, and I understand the importance of listening to human direction while working with pets. I am currently between jobs and about to engage in a short term Americorps VISTA position out of state between June and August. I often pick up local volunteer shifts at the Central MO Humane Society and at Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture, however my schedule is very flexible. I am very experienced in working within clients’ homes, whether it has been for pet sitting, house cleaning, or even entering homes to provide social services. Every home and homeowner is unique, and I pride myself in my ability to leave spaces at least as wonderful as I find them.

“My 5 year old golden had an amazing time with Matt, Angel, and their two sweet dogs. Tons of photos and videos, as well as a detailed (and quite funny) daily update. Lots of walks, treats, and playtime too. Would absolutely book with them again.”
“My pups are typically pretty nervous around new people, but they made themselves right at home with Victoria. They had so much fun and I received daily updates which helped settle my nerves more than imaginable while we were away. Victoria was always available to assist with any questions and extremely accommodating to my boys needs. We will definitely try to book with Victoria again before considering any other options! 😊”
“Brock and Rachelle were very nice and easy to work with! The location in Rover/Apple Maps doesn’t show correctly, so I recommend using Google Maps to navigate :)”
“This was our first time to board our dog and we were a little nervous, but Alicen was wonderful! Our dog had a great time and we were confident she was being well cared for. We’ll definitely board with Alicen again!”
“Dani and Skye were wonderful dog sitters for our beagle, Jenny. We left Jenny with them for a week and they took great care of her. Dani texted us pictures and kept us updated on how Jenny was doing while staying with them. Dani and Skye both love animals and Jenny enjoyed being around their own dog and cat. We would highly recommend these two for anyone looking for a nurturing environment for a pet. Thanks so much!!”
“Jennifer was very accommodating to me needing someone last minute. She answered promptly and professionally. She sent me several pictures while I was gone. Her puppy and older dog both LOVED my dog and my dog seemed extremely happy in all photos and only wanted to leave because she knew it was a car ride. I will definitely use Jennifer again. 10/10 would recommend to anyone that needs reliability, fluctuation, and a person with a great attitude!”
“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.”
“Macee is the absolute best. The only bad thing about Macee is that she is so wonderful to my pup that I worry that my pup won’t want to come home!😉😊. Macee takes care of her in the most loving and fun way.”
“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!”
“Have had dog sitters all over the country. I have never been more comfortable than bringing out dogs to her..it's like a vacation for the dogs and stress free for us.. she is awesome, her setup is perfect.”
“Donna was quick to respond to my inquiry and schedule a meet & greet prior to booking. She was accomodating to the extended times I needed, seemed knowledgeable with dogs, sent me updates while my puppy was in her care, and I picked up a happy puppy when I got back! I will book with her again!”
About: I have training experience & trained my pup myself! We play, snuggle, walk, and continue to practice training every day! I love teaching my pup new tricks, and can do the same for yours! We are very happy & energetic in our home! My sweet Buster gets along with other animals very well! He's a sweetie! I make sure to do mentally stimulating activities and challenges for Buster! They're so good for dogs! I make them fun and rewarding! I can do that for your baby too! I work full-time. And when I come home, my attention is on my pup- getting his energy out and having fun! If your request is for house sitting, I would need to bring my dog along with me. I'm home all evenings and all weekends. On the weekend, especially, I'll be available to do all the caring for your sweet babe!! The #1 thing is I don't give my dog people food. If I do, he only gets safe fruits & veggies and cheese. I don't have anything a dog could choke on or really swallow. I put Buster in a kennel when I'm gone, but I could leave your dog out if they don't do kennels. Please ask me questions if you have any!
“Kelly and her husband are a treasure! They were so gracious about accepting a boarding request that was very last minute and they were even more gracious about my activity running late. Both the dogs were very well taken care of, even the senior one who is a bit spoiled at home! They were relaxed and content when they got picked up. I would absolutely make use of Kelly’s services again and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone I know. It’s can be nerve racking to leave your dogs with someone you don’t know, but Kelly instantly had me completely at ease. Not only is she a good dog sitter but, perhaps more importantly, you can tell she’s a good person. Excellent, smooth experience! Thanks Kelly!!”
About: I have over 5 years of pet-sitting experience and have had dogs my entire life, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. What sets me apart is my commitment to providing personalized care and maintaining each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. In addition to pet sitting, I occasionally volunteer at a puppy nursery that cares for rescued mother dogs and their newborn puppies. This experience has given me additional exposure to caring for young puppies, monitoring their needs, and helping provide a safe and nurturing environment during an important stage of their development. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets, administering basic medications if needed, and providing extra patience and attention to puppies, senior pets, and animals with specific routines. Whether a pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having companionship throughout the day, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I am currently taking online classes over the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. My priority is always providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for pets. I live on 12 acres in a quiet setting and have one small, very friendly Cocker Spaniel. While my yard is not fenced, pets are always supervised outdoors and can be kept on long leads for safe exercise and exploration when appropriate. I never allow pets off-leash unless specifically instructed by the owner and it is safe to do so. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their environment clean and secure. I understand that trust is important when someone is caring for a beloved pet, so I maintain open communication and provide regular updates and photos. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and needs to ensure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout my time with them.
“Samantha and Jesse took very good care of Buddy. This was his first time being away from us for a few days. We will definitely use their services again. Also enjoyed the pictures they sent.”
