“I can't say enough about Sheila. She took on my little Lily dog who not only has Heart Disease and Trachea Collapse Disorder, but also has separation anxiety. Yet she and Dave gave Lil the best of care, with the greatest of patience. I could tell Lily felt loved. I will bring Lily back to Sheila, without reservations. Thank you sooo much for caring for my senior doggie.”

“Ashley was great for our dogs! We were in a pinch and needed someone within a few days to watch them for the weekend and Ashley was very responsive and cooperative. The dogs loved their stay at her place and were well taken care of! Ashley's communication was great with how the dogs were doing as well. Would definitely recommend!”

“Nikki is AMAZING and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Rover sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure your fur children are safe, happy, and entertained while in her care. Quigley loves going to boarding or daycare with Nikki and her fur babies! Plus Quigley always comes back to me tired from all of the play and fun he has had! Can’t wait for our next stay with Nikki”

We received pictures of our dog settling in and throughout the day, which we loved. Would definitely book with Heather again!”

“Do not hesitate to book Landree. First day of me and my son’s vacation and someone complained about my dog barking in the pet friendly hotel we were staying in. (she’s a bit co dependent). I was at a loss and pretty close to just calling the whole trip, I decided to give rover a shot and found Landree. I was so paranoid my girl Nahla has a very special place in my heart. Landree went above and beyond to accommodate me so I felt comfortable leaving her in her care. She worked with my schedule, sent me videos frequently, and responded very quickly. On the second day my 7 year old said “she needs a five star review” after we watched one of the videos she had sent of her playing with our girl. Thats exactly what she’s getting. I’m so appreciative me and my son were able to enjoy a much needed vacation knowing our dog was safe and happy with Landree.”

We set up and meet and greet the day before and everyone got along and bonded like instant best friends. Extremely kind and compassionate giving updates and photos of the fur babies having fun. Onsa was sad to leave after 4 days. We can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend using Karen’s home for pet sitting. We will only use her with entrusted care for our dog.”

She went above and beyond to accommodate for the situation. She was prompt on pickup and drop off, communicated effectively and overall a sweet girl”

About: Hi! My name is Destinee, and I’m currently saving for my wedding while doing something I genuinely love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, chickens etc. and understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and will make sure you receive updates and photos while you’re away so you can have peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours. Every booking helps me work toward my wedding, and I’m incredibly grateful for your support! I own and operate my own cleaning business, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. With advance notice, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on weekdays and weekends. I understand how important routines are, so I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play under supervision. I also have chickens, a friendly cat, and two children who have been raised to be gentle and respectful with animals. I understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals or children, so I’ll always discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand to make sure it’s the right fit. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic care, crate your dog if requested, and provide plenty of love, playtime, and photo updates while you’re away.

“Leigh's care for our senior cat, Diesel, was truly remarkable! She is an absolute gem! During our vacation, she provided 7 days of outstanding care for our 18-year-old senior cat, Diesel. The level of communication was excellent! Leigh kept us updated multiple times a day about Diesel's well-being. Coming home to a spotless house after a long day of travel was the perfect ending to vacation. She went above and beyond in caring for Diesel and our home and exceeded all expectations. We are deeply grateful to have found Leigh; she's far more than a pet sitter to us—she's a remarkable human who provided the best care possible for Diesel.”

About: I have had pets my entire life, primarily cats as well as a few dogs. I currently have a dog and cat, so taking care of either is second nature. I have also had two cats at one time and understand the nature of multi-cat households. I have pet sat many times for friends and family. These include homes with multiple dogs, multiple cats, a mix, and even a snake. Reptiles and rodents don't bother me! These experiences have also included long-term stay (1 week+) and animals with additional care needs (senior, diabetic with necessary insulin injections at meals). I am currently in vet tech school so I know what to look for to keep your pets safe! I also have experience volunteering in shelters with many animals of different temperaments.

About: Hi! I’m Landree, and caring for animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I started training horses at 10 years old, began working with exotic animals at 16, attended my first professional dog training course in 2021, and completed another in 2022. My goal is to create a place where every dog feels like they’re on vacation while you’re away. I live in St. James, Missouri, on 7 beautiful acres with a secure fenced yard for safe play and plenty of open fields for supervised walks and exercise. Our property also has a large pond. While it isn’t fenced, dogs are never allowed near it without direct supervision, and if you’d rather your pup avoid the pond completely, I’m happy to accommodate that. I work from home, so your dog will receive lots of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are welcome to relax and roam freely in the house while I’m home. If I ever need to step out for errands, they’ll stay safely in a dog-proof room or a crate, depending on what they’re most comfortable with and what you prefer. I also have both stairs and a ramp leading into the house to help accommodate senior dogs and those with mobility needs. For added convenience, I offer transportation to and from your home for boarding clients. I’m currently working toward opening my dream pet resort, where dogs can enjoy a fun, enriching, and safe stay every time they visit. Until then, I’m excited to welcome your furry family member into my home and care for them as if they were my own. Caring for dogs is my full-time job, not a side hobby, so your pet’s care is my top priority throughout the day. My daily routine is built around providing frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor play, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. During the summer, we enjoy the cooler parts of the day outside and spend the hottest hours relaxing indoors in the air conditioning before heading back out for more fun in the evening. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to follow your dog’s normal feeding times, medication schedule, exercise needs, and preferred routine. Whether your pup is full of energy and loves to play or prefers a quieter day filled with naps and cuddles, I’ll tailor their stay to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Because pet care is my full-time profession, your dog won’t simply be checked on throughout the day—they’ll receive consistent supervision, personalized care, and the love and attention they deserve. When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and individual needs so I can provide care that’s as close to home as possible. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, shy and reserved, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I’ll adjust their day to keep them happy and comfortable. Dogs receive frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor play, enrichment activities, plenty of fresh water, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. They are welcome to relax inside the house with me, and during the hottest parts of the day we cool off indoors in the air conditioning. If I ever need to leave for a short time, dogs are safely housed in a dog-proof room or a crate based on your preference and what your dog is most comfortable with. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. Safety is always my highest priority, and every outdoor activity is supervised to ensure your dog has a fun, safe, and stress-free stay.

About: Hey there! I've been around animals and providing care since my early childhood. My love for animals lead to several years of experience working in the veterinary field, even to the point of Veterinary College until my family expanded. My background has helped provide training that allows me to provide professional and specialized care for a variety of pets. I am comfortable with giving medications, etc. so you don't have to worry about your pets getting the custom care they need. I am happy to accommodate for special requests when possible to help you and your pets feel comfortable. I am currently working from home (mostly as a stay at home mother) so I will have plenty of time to give supervised care to your pets. My goal is to make them feel as loved and cared for in my home as they do in yours. I have a fenced in yard as well as lot of indoor space. I have two cats of my own that roam freely in my home. There are mulitiple rooms, baby gates, and a large basement area if pets need to be separated for any reason.

With a degree in Animal Science and extensive hands-on experience, I understand that safety is the top priority for every pet owner. When your pet stays with us, they will not only be safe but will also have a fun and enriching experience. In addition to boarding, we offer professional Training and Grooming services tailored to each dog's needs. My husband works nights and is home during the day to provide expert care and supervision for your pets. As dedicated owners of show dogs, we take pet care seriously and strive to maintain the highest standards in every aspect of our services. Our property features two fully fenced yards for play and exercise. The first is a secure 6-foot chain link and privacy-fenced potty yard, measuring approximately 20 ft x 60 ft. The second is a spacious, fully fenced double lot with rolling hills and lush grass, providing the perfect environment for your pet to run, play, and explore. *Dogs in our care must be crate trained during down time & at night. When we are not at Dog Shows or Training we are at home with our dogs. My husband works nights which means your pets will be left alone minimally. We have 2 fully fenced in yards.

About: I love dogs! All dogs... big, small, smelly, playful. I have experience caring for my own dogs as well as other's. Dogs generally love me as well. I learned most of what I know about caring for dogs from The Dog Whisperer. He really knows his stuff! Does your dog need walks and some extra training? I can handle that no problem and really enjoy seeing a dog respond to training and play. I use positive reinforcement while working with dogs. I love walking for fitness and love it even more when I have a pup to join me. While pet sitting, I can also care for plants, etc. I enjoy gardening so if you have a garden and require house/pet sitting, consider me your person! My schedule is very flexible. I currently work gig jobs and freelance, remote accounting projects. If I am house/pet sitting for you I can accommodate whatever schedule your animals usually follow. I will follow whatever rules/instructions are laid out for me. Safety is number 1 and I am sure to keep owners updated on any issues promptly.

Dogs receive frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor play, enrichment activities, plenty of fresh water, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. They are welcome to relax inside the house with me, and during the hottest parts of the day we cool off indoors in the air conditioning. If I ever need to leave for a short time, dogs are safely housed in a dog-proof room or a crate based on your preference and what your dog is most comfortable with. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. Safety is always my highest priority, and every outdoor activity is supervised to ensure your dog has a fun, safe, and stress-free stay.

“I can't say enough about Sheila. She took on my little Lily dog who not only has Heart Disease and Trachea Collapse Disorder, but also has separation anxiety. Yet she and Dave gave Lil the best of care, with the greatest of patience. I could tell Lily felt loved. I will bring Lily back to Sheila, without reservations. Thank you sooo much for caring for my senior doggie.”

“Ashley was great for our dogs! We were in a pinch and needed someone within a few days to watch them for the weekend and Ashley was very responsive and cooperative. The dogs loved their stay at her place and were well taken care of! Ashley's communication was great with how the dogs were doing as well. Would definitely recommend!”

“Nikki is AMAZING and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Rover sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure your fur children are safe, happy, and entertained while in her care. Quigley loves going to boarding or daycare with Nikki and her fur babies! Plus Quigley always comes back to me tired from all of the play and fun he has had! Can’t wait for our next stay with Nikki”

“We booked last minute for the next day while we floated. We were worried not knowing exactly when the float would end but Heather was very kind and we were able to enjoy the day stress free. We received pictures of our dog settling in and throughout the day, which we loved. Would definitely book with Heather again!”

“Do not hesitate to book Landree. First day of me and my son’s vacation and someone complained about my dog barking in the pet friendly hotel we were staying in. (she’s a bit co dependent). I was at a loss and pretty close to just calling the whole trip, I decided to give rover a shot and found Landree. I was so paranoid my girl Nahla has a very special place in my heart. Landree went above and beyond to accommodate me so I felt comfortable leaving her in her care. She worked with my schedule, sent me videos frequently, and responded very quickly. On the second day my 7 year old said “she needs a five star review” after we watched one of the videos she had sent of her playing with our girl. Thats exactly what she’s getting. I’m so appreciative me and my son were able to enjoy a much needed vacation knowing our dog was safe and happy with Landree.”

“Cheyenne was very flexible with my schedule. I was on vacation and we were going floating. On the day Cheyenne was supposed to watch my dog, the river was swollen and dangerous to float. She went above and beyond to accommodate for the situation. She was prompt on pickup and drop off, communicated effectively and overall a sweet girl”

About: Hi! My name is Destinee, and I’m currently saving for my wedding while doing something I genuinely love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, chickens etc. and understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, communicative, and will make sure you receive updates and photos while you’re away so you can have peace of mind. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours. Every booking helps me work toward my wedding, and I’m incredibly grateful for your support! I own and operate my own cleaning business, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. With advance notice, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on weekdays and weekends. I understand how important routines are, so I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play under supervision. I also have chickens, a friendly cat, and two children who have been raised to be gentle and respectful with animals. I understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals or children, so I’ll always discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand to make sure it’s the right fit. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic care, crate your dog if requested, and provide plenty of love, playtime, and photo updates while you’re away.
