About: I’ve been caring for cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for both cats and dogs for friends and family. While my background is stronger with cats, I’m comfortable handling the day-to-day needs of dogs as well, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I make it a priority to carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, medications, dietary restrictions, routines, or other special care needs. Because I work remotely, I’m also able to spend much more time at home with pets than many sitters can, which means more company, attention, and supervision throughout the day.
“This was my first time using Rover so I was not sure what to expect but I found everything to be very professional and easy to use. Rachel was great to work with. She came over for a meet and greet where she met Soffit (my cat), and I went over instructions. The week we were gone she was gentle and patient with my senior cat. She even got him to come to her for loves. She took care of all his needs plus brought in our mail. I would definitely use her again. She was very professional and kept us updated every day. We are very thankful she was available for us. ? ?”
“Katy did an amazing job with our boys and they were so happy. Seemless communication from the initial consultation visit thru the scheduled care visits. We definitely recommend Katy and will be utilizing her services going forward.”
“Melanie was incredible! She took fantastic care of my three cats while I was away on vacation. She sent detailed updates and several pictures as well as responded quickly to my messages. I highly recommend -my fur babies adored her and I will absolutely rebook with Melanie!”
“Eleanor did a wonderful job of taking care of our old cat, Rubble. She communicated daily and Rubble was well cared for. She brought in our mail and our packages, and followed our written requests completely. I hope that she will be available again next time we go out of town.”
About: I have owned 2 cats (tabby and tortico) for 3 years, getting both as kittens. Growing up, my neighbor took in stray cats, so I learned from her how to care for the young and lost, and how to properly love something that is often misunderstood!
“Asa was wonderful. Trustworthy, spent quality time with our puppy Violet. When I got home she looked better than when I left and is better behaved. I can't say enough great things about Asa. I never needed to worry because the updates and pictures told the story.”
“Allison took great care of our cats, including giving insulin to our senior cat. She also extended our booking with no problem when we decided to extend our trip for a night. We will definitely use Allison again as our pet sitter:)”
“Kelly took great care of our kitties and was an excellent communicator! She was even able to give one of our cats her pill, which is not the easiest thing to do. Thank you, Kelly!”
“Thank you for taking care of our little Jing Li. This is the first time we have EVER had a stranger take care of her and I must admit, I was very nervous. The fact that you sent daily photos of her put my mind at ease. Thanks again. We look forward to a couple more bookings this Summer.”
“Great job! Thanks for taking such good care of my girls. You must be a “cat whisperer” to have gotten them both out to visit with you so quickly! You made my time away bearable for them and worry free for me. I would definitely book your services again.”

About: I’ve cared for a variety of dogs and cats — for friends, family, and many clients through Rover — over the past decade. I take pride in providing attentive, detail-oriented, and scientifically informed care to ensure your pets are happy and healthy. I am a physician research fellow completing a research fellowship at WashU, where I primarily work from home with a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide frequent attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. I only need to be away one afternoon each week for clinic, so your pet will receive plenty of care and companionship. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of individual attention. In my home, pets have access to a dedicated indoor playroom that opens directly onto a spacious backyard, providing a safe and comfortable space to relax and play. There is also a large fenced play area approximately 300 yards from my backyard where dogs can enjoy additional exercise and outdoor time. I maintain a clean, safe environment and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: So I just love dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and will never not have one. I work from home and am very physically active so my lifestyle works well with dogs as I am around to simply hang out with the dogs or go on long walks if needed! Luckily I work from home as an attorney and am able to provide many walks and attention throughout the day. I also live in an area with a lake and multiple dog parks. I am extremely attentive with any dogs that I take care of. I will provide sitting with care and attention and make sure your dog is safe and taken care of.
“Wendy was amazing, I could see how much she love and care for the dogs . I felt comfortable leaving my Bella with her , and when I picked her up I could tell that she didn’t look stress like when I used to picked her up from other places . We will definitely come back with Wendy and her dogs .”
“Haley is wonderful, always giving me details as my little man's anxiety around new people and places lessens every day. As soon as I met her and her children I knew that they'd have a calming influence on him. So glad I found her!!”
“My puppy is super anxious (recently adopted) and Ruthie was excellent with her. She gave her extra attention and was very soothing. Highly recommend Ruthie for anyone with a nervous pup.”
“Chico, my elderly Chihuahua, went to doggie daycare with Amy in Columbia for a couple of hours while I met friends for lunch. Amy has such a wonderful way with animals; you can tell she really loves watching them. She took lots of photos, have Chico lots of attention and even had a pet guestbook for him to sign. Such a cute idea. If you ever need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Amy.”
“Frances is an amazing, caring and reliable pet sitter. I would trust her to take care of Cooper anytime! She also updated me with many pictures throughout the day, which I loved! I would 10/10 recommend Frances to be your dog sitter!”
“Rachell was great! We kept in touch throughout my pups stay as I was super nervous since he’s never been away from me. He did great and I can tell he was loved and taken care of great! My pup can’t wait for his next visit!”
“Walter and his wife have been so great with my dog! Kenai loves going over there for the day. They have made Kenai a welcome member in their home and even take him out for walks. They’re also understanding of my changing schedule when it comes to early drop offs and different pickup times. I really appreciate them!”

About: I've grown up with many different types of dogs. I learned at a young age the importance of walks, exercise, how to love and care for dogs of all ages and sizes. I have dog-sat for multiple families in the past, sometimes up to a week, and end up creating life-long bonds with each 4-legged friend! I currently work remotely, making my own schedule apart from an in-person part-time job that is about 14 hours a week. My availability: Mondays all day, Tuesdays after 5, Wednesdays after 1, Thursdays after 5, Fridays after 1, Saturdays all day, Sundays between 12 and 4. (Starting in June I will be available pretty much all day everyday!) I have two cats and rent, so care would need to be at your home, which I am comfortable with.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 9 years old. I’ve been taking care of them ever since! I have been watching other dogs since I was a teenager.

I teach private lessons on Monday and Friday afternoons for a couple hours, otherwise my other jobs provide me a good deal of flexibility, so that I can pet set as much as possible! At my home our dogs have an electric fence, and have been properly trained not to cross the invisible line. I have also lived in areas where dogs are fenced in, and even with neither type of fence and just a long chain attached to the ground. Regardless I will take care of your pet regardless of the outdoor situation. I am pretty physically fit, so I can carve out some good time to take them on walks, long or short! I follow your instructions to the T when it comes to specific needs and potty/bed times. I will come to you and do whatever needs to be done to make sure your pet is happy and safe!

Prior to that, I worked in healthcare. I take great pride in being dependable and trustworthy in all my endeavors.
“I normally work from home, but had to travel for almost two weeks recently. My dog is my coworker and I was so worried how she would do all day without me there when my family was at work and school during the day. Thank goodness for Monica! It was so wonderful that she was able to come walk my dog at noon every day while I was away. Monica is so sweet and extremely reliable!!! She sent pictures every day of their adventures on their walks which made me smile when I was able to finally glance at my phone for that day. She also gave our cat lots of snuggles too while she was there! I will definitely reach out to her if I need to go out of town for work again and will highly recommend Monica to anyone who needs help with their pets in the future. Thank you Monica!!!! 🐾🐾🐕🐈⬛🐾🐾”
