“I would definitely recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a family friendly pace for your dog to stay. After meeting her and her family I felt so comfortable leaving my doodle with her as part of her family. Would highly recommend!”
“I appreciated the communication and photos while we were away. Our pup was calm and happy at drop off and pick up. I recommend this family and I will rebook next time we need to board our dog.”
“Angelica was super responsive and sweet! She made sure Coop was comfortable with his first night away from home. He was worn out from all the playing when we picked him up! Definitely recommend for your pups!”
“Mackenzie was great to work with. This was my first time using Rover or even having anyone watch my lab. She was very helpful with information on processes and was great to communicate with. I would highly recommend Mackenzie and I will definitely book her again! Thank you!!!!!!!”
“Samantha was amazing and watched my cat for a few hours before a flight while I was home for the holidays. It was a last minute request and she answered and coordinated with me quickly and efficiently. She’s friendly, professional and close to the airport. Would definitely recommend boarding with Samantha!”
“Leslie was very kind and patient with my puppy. She took very good care of her and I felt more than safe leaving my pup with her. Leslie’s home was also clean and well put together and filled with dog toys! If I ever need boarding again I will for sure be booking with her.”
“Laurie has been doing drop-in visits for us for a while but recently took my dog for several nights of boarding. JoJo is a senior dog with some anxiety that can require extra attention (and a healthy dose of patience). Laurie communicated with me throughout the stay about how things were going, and even threw in some additional remedies of her own to help JoJo get settled in. You can tell she is invested in your pet's well being and provides quality care.”

“Stephanie was an absolute ROCKSTAR! She provided an extremely high level of care to our two cats, who are suspicious of people. By the end, they were cuddling in her lap. The cats were provided with daily clean food, water, litter, treats and play time/snuggles. I’m pretty sure they were more disappointed to see her go vs us be home again. :) Thank you again Stephanie for the daily updates and photo slideshows to brighten our day. You eased my nerves, I had never left on vacation yet with our kitties, and it was the best time for kitties and myself!”
“Stephanie was amazing with my cat, Keumto! She was incredibly thoughtful and went above and beyond to make sure Keumto was well cared for. I loved getting her daily photos and updates, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared about Keumto. Thank you so much, Stephanie! I would definitely book with you again!”
“Heather took amazing care of my cats while I was away! It was her first time watching them and she sent the best updates and made sure to give them lots of love. Heather pays attention to detail, is patient, and super caring. Definitely will request her again!”
“thank you so much! (especially for being available late notice!) i came back to kitties so happy. i appreciated the detailed updates so much! i was hiking and didn’t have service until later in day & was so happy to see them. & sorry i totally forgot to review & tip for over a week 🙃”
About: I've cared for cats for the last 15 years. From kittens to seniors. I can trim nails Give oral medication (but willing to learn to administer other medications) I love hanging out with shy or fearful cats to help them gain confidence and learn to trust. I want to see them thrive. Look forward to meet your sweet feline friends
“Amazing took my cats a day before I needed to be taken care of.She was amazing with my both of them .updated me with pics of them as well someone I definitely recommend.”
About: Cats have always had a special place in my heart! 🐱🤍 Every cat I’ve owned has been a rescue, and I also have experience rescuing and caring for kittens, including bottle-feeding young kittens who needed extra attention. I’m comfortable with cats of all ages and personalities, from energetic kittens to shy cats who need a little extra patience and time to feel safe. I understand that cats have their own boundaries, routines, and ways of showing affection, and I’ll always care for your cat at their pace while giving them all the love and attention they deserve. 🐾
“Kaitlyn did excellent care for my precious kitty. She provided me with pictures and messages of how she was eating and behaving. I will hire her again, especially for the peace of mind. It gave me while out of the country.”
“Robin is so sweet and our Bear just does so well with her. He is usually very shy, but seems to have warmed up to her quite easily. We can't thank Robin enough for the time she spends with him nd the care she gives.”
“Natalie has taken care of my two cats several times this summer. She does a wonderful job, and I never have to worry worry about my cats when I’m away from home. I can’t say enough nice things about Natalie and the care she gives my kitties!”
“Sally was amazing and so accommodating! She took excellent care of my sassy cat while I was out of town. Her thorough communication was reassuring, and I’m so thankful that she was willing to go the extra mile to help care for my baby.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by cats my entire life. I’ve always enjoyed their personalities more than any other animal. I’ve been relied on to feed, give attention to, change litter boxes, clean, many responsibilities that come along with owning a cat/cats. I am familiar with cats gestures, wants and needs.
About: I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family members and friends. Whether it’s keeping them company for a couple hours to just stopping by to let them out and check their food/water to watching them for multiple days. I work full time and don’t have the ability to work from home. On weekdays after 5pm I’m free to hang out with your pups! During the weekend I have more flexibility to watch or check on your pets. I don’t have any pets and currently live in an apartment complex. There is a lot of open grass space around my apartment complex and is in a good area to walk in. If you prefer your pup be in a crate if I have to leave that will need to be provided, but as long as they are house trained I have no problem with your dog free-roaming my apartment.
“Jason was wonderful! Shared photos with me of Paco each day, which was very reassuring that he was doing well. Jason also shared little things about Paco and his personality and the way that he is incredibly loving and sweet. Which made me recognize how much Jason actually cared and was taking good care of my kitten.”
“Olivia took care of our 4 cats while gone on a long vacation. She was very thorough and played with them to make them happy. She went the extra mile by bringing in mail, watering plants, and feeding my fish! My cats absolutely loved seeing her. 10/10 would recommend Olivia!”

“Lindsay was very accomidating. She allowed us to bring Mate by 15 minutes early. SHe graciously allowed me to introduce my skittish dog to her dogs in the fenced backyard and then bring him inside. She took note of special directions and followed them. She sent several pictures, all indicating a happy dog. Obviously Mate enjoyed his time there. I hope to use Lindsay in the future.”

About: I have had pets all my life from dogs and cats to gerbils, hamsters and fish. Even as a young child I was primarily responsible for most of the routine daily pet care. I'm a trained CNA with applicable caregiving skills. I also have extensive experience as a shelter volunteer having walked the dog and played with them as well as socializing the cats. I'm currently self employed as a home care aide and wish to take care of animals in between assignments or during days off. I do not have any responsibilities that would interfere with me taking care of your fur babies. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a yard stake. I live in a townhouse with an open grass backyard. I regularly take my dog to The Liberty, MO Stockdale dog park and can take yours there too if that's your preference. If you wish I can walk your dog as many times per day as you prefer. My neighborhood has paved sidewalks and walking paths that I routinely use to walk my dog daily. I have one cat and one dog and each get along with other cats and dogs very well but should there be any unforeseen issue, I can put your pet in my spare bedroom. I also own a wire dog crate for large dogs. I can crate your pet in your home or my home if you wish me to. I will take care of him or her in whichever way you prefer. I do not crate my dog but I did as a puppy to facilitate his potty training. My dog sleeps with me at night as does my cat sometimes. Both are friendly and well socialized but again, I can put either in a spare room or your pet if necessary. Both my pets are up to date on their vaccinations and they get a monthly pill for flea and tick prevention. I can do everything from long or short walks, taking them outside for potty breaks, administering food or medicine, playtime, etc.

About: Hi! I’m Rachel! I’ve been a dog person my entire life and have been watching dogs since I was 11. I have two dogs of my own, Wesley and Wally, and dogs truly are my best friends. 🥹🐾 I know how important it is to find someone you completely trust with your pup, so I’ll treat yours just like my own, with lots of love, patience, attention, cuddles, and playtime. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, including giving medications, following specific routines, and providing extra support when needed. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give your pup plenty of attention. Whether they’re energetic and ready to play or prefer a cozy day on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐶🧡 I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and little pup reports so you can relax knowing your baby is happy and well cared for. I’d love to meet your pup and become their new bestie! 🐾 I work remotely, which means I’m home with my dogs pretty much all day and am always attentive to their needs. Dogs are already a big part of my everyday routine, so caring for another pup fits right in! I love having a dog around to keep me company while I work, and I’m able to give them plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. We have a spacious, fully fenced-in yard where the pups can safely run around and get some energy out, plus my two friendly dogs, Wesley and Wally, who love having a friend around! I’m also happy to accommodate whatever makes your pup feel most comfortable. If they’re crate trained and prefer their crate, we can absolutely do that. We even have a spare bedroom that can be their own little space if they’d rather have some quiet time away from the other dogs. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home here.
About: I’ve had dogs from a young age. Staying with me, they will get attention, love, play time and cuddles. They will also get to play with my dog Lexi. I work from home full time so I’m always here. I’m able to go outside and play with your pups or give them extra attention. I have a fenced in yard with locks on my gates. I have a doggie door and the back door is always open. I have a 5 year old pup that is very calming and caring. She has been great with other dogs. She is very nurturing and always makes sure those in her space are safe. I have a couple of stories I can provide about her. I am very hands on and constantly checking on my girl and will do the same for your furbaby. Safety is very important to me, not only for your furbaby but for myself and my furbaby as well.
About: One of the things that sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for high-energy, intelligent breeds. I have two Huskies and a Samoyed, so I’m very familiar with the exercise, structure, and attention these dogs need to thrive. I understand that active breeds aren’t just looking for a quick potty break—they need engagement, mental stimulation, and plenty of activity. Because I care for three dogs every day, I’m comfortable managing multiple pets, maintaining routines, and recognizing when a dog needs extra attention or a little more space. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care based on their personality and your preferences. I’m dependable, organized, and know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being treated like one of my own. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention that I give my own Huskies and Samoyed every single day. Pet care is my full time focus, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks on both weekdays and weekends, and I can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and many last-minute requests. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be welcomed into a home with years of experience caring for active, large-breed dogs. I currently have two Huskies and a Samoyed, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs, different personalities, and maintaining consistent routines. I have a securely fenced yard, closely supervise all playtime, and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests, treating every dog like one of my own.
“Amanda was great, we went and did a visit. The visit went very well and her dog was very friendly and has a large backyard to run in. Amanda was very informative about the daycare that is provided and she would send videos during the day if you wanted.”
About: I am a retired police dispatcher and have a squeaky clean background. I love all animals! I provide calm, reliable care and treat every dog like part of the family while they’re with me. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their dog with someone they trust, so I focus on safety, communication, and making pets feel at home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a dog’s normal routine, I make sure each pet gets personalized attention and care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. I’m home often, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I respect both the pet's routine and the home itself by following all care instructions carefully. I treat all dogs like they are my family.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Smithville
About: I rescued my first pet (cat) and spoiled my second (dog). Have fun playing fetch and taking long walks, and love to hang out with cats too. I have just recently moved back to Missouri from Bozeman, Montana and am always looking to stay busy with side jobs on my time off. I can easily crate dogs (only if asked or necessary) in a client’s home. I can recognize different techniques to use on differently trained animals.
“I highly recommend this person as a dog walker. She is very responsible, punctual, and caring with my dogs. I trust her completely, and she always makes sure my dogs are safe and happy. I am very grateful for her help and dedication. Thank you Stephanie 🩷🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
About: I have taken care of animals for the past 15 years, and have dog and cat watched though out the years. I used to have my own dog walking business. I am currently a college student at the University of Missouri working a part time job and I’m also involved in a few clubs in my community. I have time in the early mornings and later afternoons to watch and walk your fur babies! I pay close attention to pets and make sure all needs are met.

About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs through the years and find joy in going for walks around the neighborhood and playing and meeting every single dog I see. I work full time, 3 12 hour shifts a week and my other 4 days I love having something to do whether that is going on walks, popping in to make sure dogs have everything they need and having potty breaks. During drop ins or walks I like to follow the owners instructions carefully so that each pet can maintain their normal routines and reduce stress. I make sure each pet has water, any food they need, toys if able, exercise, and attention. With walks I stay very mindful of potential dangers or triggers to avoid any unwanted situations and pay attention to any sins of overheating, exhaustion or discomfort. During drop ins if a pet uses a crate I always make sure it’s locked and checked before leaving as well as leaving the surrounding how I arrived and with locked doors. It’s always fun to send the owner updates and pictures of their pet while away to ensure they are safe and getting the care they need.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I absolutely love being around them. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out, I genuinely enjoy their company.

I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I always try to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me.

I pay close attention to their routines, make sure they feel comfortable, and follow any instructions you leave so they get the care they’re used to.

Me and my boyfriend both work full time jobs so your pets will be alone for a few hours depending on your services you schedule with me. Also note if you book for a boarding stay you will have to provide a crate if your dog stays in a crate while your gone durning the day or overnight!🐾 I have taken care of all breed and sizes of dogs for a few years now. All my family and family friends have trusted me with their fur babies. I go to their homes or I take their dogs home with me depending on how they get along with my dogs. I have fed, played, and bathed dogs. I also love of them as if they are my own dogs. Not only do I care for dogs but I can care for all other four legged animals as well! Depending on the day if I work your pet will get 1 walk and plenty of outside time! If I am not working your dog will get 2 walks, hours of outside time and get as much enrichment to help their mental stemalation and energy! Starting in May on Saturdays I typically work at a race track until late, but I will go to your home prior to me going to the track. I have a fenced in yard and live in a nice Kearney neighborhood! We have several nature trails to walk on and a dog park in town! I do have two dogs but both are very friendly with other dogs and up to date on all vaccinations! There is also a vet office 5 minutes down the road that I take my animals to so if there ever is an emergency I will go straight there!
About: Recently graduated from Mizzou, I have spent the last 2 years helping to care for our house pets, including two cats and one dog. I worked to feed, walk, and engage with my pets during this period. Prior to this, I lived and cared for many animals back in my hometown: 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 2 parrots, and a turtle. Because of this, I deliver versatile care, and understand that every pet has its own unique needs! I work 2 part time jobs, both in healthcare, where my hours are stacked on certain days of the week. This gives me flexibility to help care for your pets! Though each week can be a little different, I have my schedule set throughout the summer and can plan far ahead! I have such a big heart for animals! I love giving them attention and care above and beyond what's expected. I prefer to do this in a house sitting situation due to having 5 other roomates with animals here, but I have a car and am willing to do overnights!
About: Hi, my name is Philip and I love dogs. Through my life so far I have always been jealous of my friends whose parents allowed them to have a dog. But I take every opportunity that I can to play and care for dogs That being said, I have helped care for a couple of neighbors dogs and take them on many walks. One of them was German Shepherd puppy that I even was able to train and I grew quite attached. Whenever I am able to move out I plan to get a German shepherd for myself because of how much I loved my neighbor's puppy. I am currently working part time so I have a good bit free time on most days. I can walk or dog/cat sit weekdays and weekends most of the time until I get a full time job! I can care for a pet in your own environment however you would like me too, I'm very open and flexible as long as I have clear instructions and resources. I'm up to almost any task!
About: Hi! I’m Bailey, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently care for my own pets and have experience with senior pets, medically complex pets, medications, anxious animals, and multi-pet households. I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work independently, which allows me flexibility and reliability when caring for your pets. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I’ll treat them like members of my own family. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets, so I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and communication while you’re away. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, allowing me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. Because I work from home, pets receive regular attention, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I work remotely from my home, allowing me to closely monitor pets throughout the day. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requests. I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including seniors and pets with complex medical needs. I understand that every pet is unique and strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. My goal is to provide a calm, safe environment where your pet feels at home while you’re away.

“I would definitely recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a family friendly pace for your dog to stay. After meeting her and her family I felt so comfortable leaving my doodle with her as part of her family. Would highly recommend!”
“I appreciated the communication and photos while we were away. Our pup was calm and happy at drop off and pick up. I recommend this family and I will rebook next time we need to board our dog.”
“Mackenzie was great to work with. This was my first time using Rover or even having anyone watch my lab. She was very helpful with information on processes and was great to communicate with. I would highly recommend Mackenzie and I will definitely book her again! Thank you!!!!!!!”
“Samantha was amazing and watched my cat for a few hours before a flight while I was home for the holidays. It was a last minute request and she answered and coordinated with me quickly and efficiently. She’s friendly, professional and close to the airport. Would definitely recommend boarding with Samantha!”
“Leslie was very kind and patient with my puppy. She took very good care of her and I felt more than safe leaving my pup with her. Leslie’s home was also clean and well put together and filled with dog toys! If I ever need boarding again I will for sure be booking with her.”
“Laurie has been doing drop-in visits for us for a while but recently took my dog for several nights of boarding. JoJo is a senior dog with some anxiety that can require extra attention (and a healthy dose of patience). Laurie communicated with me throughout the stay about how things were going, and even threw in some additional remedies of her own to help JoJo get settled in. You can tell she is invested in your pet's well being and provides quality care.”
“Alex and Jacquelynne were the best dog sitters ever! From the videos and pictures they would send to me, they always kept my mind at ease while being away from my pup. Thank you again!! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Sharon & Glen have been great to work with! Their availability and willingness to care for my fur baby last minute is comforting and makes leaving her easier for our family. In a short period of time, they treat our girl like their own.”
“Robin was very understanding with our dog, Tabitha's needs - with her in mourning after the recent passing of our other dog, her closest companion and with us needing to be away from home for 8 days. Robin listened to all of the details of feeding and meds. Then she stayed in contact with us, updating us on Tabitha's adjustment to her new surroundings, sending great pics and playing the games she likes to play (FRISBE!) Robin was also VERY accomodating with our crazy flight schedules on drop off & pick up. Tabitha had such a good time she has returned to her joyful self! I highly reccomend Robin and she will be the first person we will reach out to the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Lona and Alan were amazing at watching my baby! They have wonderful ideas and games for mental stimulation. They make sure to get all the details and preferences for caring for your pet, and are on top of sending updates multiple times a day so you don’t worry. I have no doubt for any future trips I’ll take that my dog will be in great hands!”
