“Chloe is amazing!!! Jake was abused and abandoned before we adopted him in May. This is the first time we have left him. Upon entering Chloe‘s home it was obvious Jake immediately felt comfortable, safe and was treated like a member of the family and spoiled with his favorite things to do just like if he were at his own home. Until Chloe, Jake would only lay next to me. I was so happy when I received a picture of him so content laying next to Chloe. It was great knowing he was in such wonderful, caring hands. I highly recommend Chloe and I personally will only trust Jake with her. Such a wonderful couple with true love & joy for animals.”

Jonna S.

“Mason was super attentive. Sent many photos and videos. Very proactive when Bailey had a health issue. Very empathetic. Would highly recommend.”

About: I have owned dogs before I could even read. I have always loved dogs and have cared for a large variety of dogs, whether that be age, size, gender, or breed. I have such a love for dogs, I’ve considered becoming a dog trainer ever since I was a child. I’m not currently working, so I’m very flexible with reservations. Just let me know ahead of time and I can be very flexible with you! I remain consistent in their daily routines, especially for potty breaks. I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement training, so I will make sure the dogs are recognized for doing good.

“Donovan was very accommodating and understanding with our pit bull! His place was very clean and seemed like a safe place for our boy. We were even running behind on our pickup time and he was very understanding and flexible. As well as sending us photo updates. Will be using him again in the future :)”

Susan S.

“Nina was amazing. Tucker had a lot of fun with her. I’m sure he enjoyed a lot playing with her big and sweet dogs. She sent me pictures and was very responsive. And besides that he got home worn out, meaning that he burned a lot of his energy.”

About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life and totally get their moods, quirks, and need for both space and love. I’m super patient and gentle, and I always try to bond with each cat in their own way, whether that means playtime, quiet company, or just making sure they feel safe. I’m comfortable with senior cats, kittens, giving medications, and yes… I don’t mind cleaning litter boxes either! I really enjoy making cats feel at home even when their people are away.

“Tausha previously came for a meet and greet. We really like her knowledge and love of animals. She's easy going and has a calming presence. This visit I booked her to come over so that I could show her the routine for our animals before she actually stays. My dogs seem very comfortable with her and I feel confident leaving them in her care.”

Kristina C.

“My dog Priscilla stayed with Stephanie while I explored the town. She was very nice and sent texts of pics and videos which help relieve my anxiety . This is my first time using rover and it was a great experience! Priscilla had a blast and seemed very comfortable when I picked her up!will definitely be back to visits friends and will use Stephanie's services again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 5 and I’ve loved it ever since. I’ve had owned many dogs and cats. I’ve helped with pets of all ages, from tiny babies to sweet seniors. I’m going to school for animal behavior and care because animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Right now, I am going to school online for my bachelors while working! Pet care is the perfect way for me to stay busy doing something I love while also helping people out. It fits into my routine really well right now because I have the time and flexibility, and it gives me experience for my future career with animals. It’s a win-win, I get to be around pets and give them the love and care they deserve while I’m in this in-between stage. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I treat it like my own, with a lot of respect and care. I always follow your instructions closely because every pet has their own routine and comfort zone. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, giving meds, or just keeping them company, I focus on creating a calm and happy environment. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home, and I don’t take that lightly.

“I am SO grateful for Makayla!! My two Aussies LOVED spending time with her and her Aussies! She’s an excellent communicator and made me and my pups feel so comfortable and welcome. She loved on my girls like they were her own. I highly recommend Makayla!”

Jennifer H.

“I was very happy with Donovan! Rosie has separation anxiety and she warmed up to him so I think he is a perfect match for her! I would recommend him to sit with your pet!”

About: I have had dogs all my life but have been dog sitting since I was 16 years old for neighbors, family and friends. Me and my wife have a home in Joplin missouri with a huge privacy fenced back yard. Rest assured your pets will have plenty of space for play and relaxing. I am photographer and a stay at home dad! This gives me the opportunity to be home all day for plenty of play and potty breaks. Our son is one year old but is never unsupervised around any pets. Our fenced in yard is very spacious and we have gated areas in our home to separate dogs from each other if needed. We have two dogs of our own Argyle & Daisy who are very friendly and love to play. They are also kept up to date on all vaccinations and are treated for fleas using Seresto collars. We do not have any issues with bugs of any kind and are a non smoking home. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds in our home and have comfy spaces everywhere. Be prepared for plenty of update pictures! We do not use pesticides or weed killer of any kind and our yard is kept chemical free. We also keep water indoors to prevent bacteria from building up. We refresh water as needed.

About: I have personally walked miles and miles with my own, very energetic Weimer. I had Cooper (my Weimer) for 14 years and we walked literally every single day, rain, snow, cold etc. We now have our 2nd Weimer and back at it again; love the exercise they provide for us!! I often walk my sisters dogs when she can’t due to health issues. I’m ready, and have my walking shoes on! I’m retired now and walking my dog keeps me moving and I love it! I’m ready to add additional exercise for your dogs too! Let’s go! We have a fenced yard and one 6 year old friendly Weimer. We keep our dog inside but playtime occurs outdoors on great summer days

“Nina and her pups are lovely! She was able to accommodate my schedule, and I got updates while he was there.”
