About: I became a dog mom at 19, and have been dog-sitting off and on ever since! While the extra income is always nice, I mainly do it to prevent coming home with a new puppy every week. I treat all the dogs I meet like they're my own and give them as much love as I do to my own babies - an 11 year old Lab mix and 6 year old German Shepherd! They both have loved every dog I've ever had staying at my house. I'm comfortable with all breeds and all ages, and have no problem giving medications if needed. I am available during the daytime for long walks and have a very flexible work schedule, which means a lot of play time for your pup! I’m currently working remote part-time and have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I have plenty of spare time during the day to spend with your pup! I treat your pets as if they are my own, giving them the same amount of love and attention if not more! I always make sure they are well cared for and that the client comes home to a clean house and happy pets!
“Ashley was amazing with Sosa. First, She was very accommodating. greeted us with a warm welcome. We will definitely use her again.Also. our Sosa loved her dog Emma!!! Ashley sent pictures and videos to kep us updated about his stay. Thank you Ashley for a wonderful time!!”
“We had never used a dog sitter before and were leary of using one. We found Lilli through Rover and brought our two dogs to her home so they could meet her dogs and to see if we were a good fit for each other. Our dogs loved her dogs and her home and they had a great time staying there. We highly recommend Lilli and will use her services again.”
“If you love your dog and want someone who loves your dog as much as you do. Alexandra is that person. My dog had so much fun playing with all the dogs she has there. She has two of her own that are as sweet as can be. Her home is clean and beautiful, her back yard is big and fenced. She was very quick to respond to all my questions, she doesn't take mean dogs that are not a fit. I received many photos and videos during my dog's visit. I couldn't be happier to find Alexandra and will be using her services for as long as she continues to babysit my baby. I knew Alexandra was special because she enjoyed watching the dogs all play together as much as I did.”
“This was my first time using Rover and seperating from my 2 mini goldendoodles for more than a few hours. Evelin was very caring and loving towards both my dogs and not only her but all her family, they treated them like it was their dogs which I loved and amazed how fast my dogs felt like at home with her. She sents pictures and made sure to remind me everything was okay and to enjoy my vacations. I couldn't thank her enough for all she did, I look forward to booking with her again for any overnight boarding in the future! I highly recommend booking your fur baby's stay with Evelin! ❤️”
“Kylo had such a great time with Melanie! We received constant pictures and updates and were completely at ease during our time out of town. Melanie really loves pups and it shows! Kylo can be anxious in new environments but she seemed to settle down with Melanie in no time! Would definitely recommend Melanie/book with her again!”
“Although this is the first Taylor’s sitting Kiki, I can tell Kiki was happy and comfortable at Taylor’s house and played along with Taylor’s dog, a golden retriever. Taylor’s daily photo and sms update of Kiki’s activities gave my wife and me a peace of mind. We are happy and thankful for Taylor’s care of Kiki. We will definitely ask Taylor for help again when needed.”
“Heather and her son took amazing care of our dogs during our wedding weekend. She asked lots of questions ahead of time, sent us daily photos and check ins, and took the extra time to meet our dogs before their stay. My two normally anxious pups came home as calm as if they had been on a relaxing vacation. Her kindness and professionalism greatly reduced our stress during this crazy time, and I have already been recommending her to anyone who asks. Heather is the best!”
“We were very thankful Mary was available to watch Odin and Oakley! We had a great meet and greet and we felt our pups would be in great hands! They enjoyed their stay with much outdoor play and we knew they would be well cared for. Thank you!”
“Rebeka was absolutely amazing with our dog. He was new to us and we had never boarded him before. She took the time to meet with us beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. She sent multiple updates and photos to help put me at ease. She listened to our requests and did a phenomenal job. I will definitely use her in the future!”
“10 out of 10 recommend. My fur baby seemed to be well taken care of. They would send pics and videos of updates, which I really liked. It honestly looked like she had a mini vacation lol”

Cat caregivers near you - Carthage
“Allison was absolutely awesome! She went the extra mile and then some! There are allot of cat sitters out there that will feed and scoop your cats litter, but there are those rare gems like Allison that actually take the time to care for your cat and make friends with a 1/2wild crazy Orange Boy. Thats what you will get with Allison!”
“Lindy is amazing and took great care of our pets over a long weekend. We loved the visit photos and the updates. We definitely recommend and will be using in the future.”
“Whitney is wonderful with our pets! She was extra patient with our senior boy and made sure he was cared for and loved on while we were gone. Highly recommend her for your pet needs! ♥️”
About: Over the years I have been the go to for friends and family who needed a cat sitter. I’m also very thorough when it comes to cats that require a bit of extra special care. I’ll be sure to tire them out in preparation for their next nap.
“The BEST sitter I’ve used through Rover. She took such good care of care of my kitties and gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone, I’d give her 10 stars if I could!”
“Jennifer and her son were kind and helpful for us while we travelled! Our little fur baby was relaxed when we returned home which is a real feat, and they even sent a picture of our house to help us understand the extent of some storm-related damage before returned home. We'd love to work with them again!”
“Jessica was great! She took great care of Poppy, showed up every day, sent great pics and descriptions of visits, and was friendly and communicative. Thank you Jessica!”
“While being out of town for four days, I had complete peace of mind that my four cats were being taken care of. Christy showed up at her drop in times and stayed long enough to take care of everything and interact with my cats. I would recommend Christy”
About: I grew up with several different kinds of animals at home. My first job was at a pet store and I have continued to love caring for animals since then. I've taken care of friends and neighbors pets for several years. I am comfortable with any pet, as long as they have a good temperament. I am a fourth grade teacher, so my schedule is completely open in the summer. During the school year, my availability is mostly limited to weekends. At my home I have a fenced in backyard and two high energy dogs ( a Dutch Shepherd and a Corgi) who would love a buddy to play with. I also have three children, ages 8-15, who like to help take care of our furry friends. At your home you can expect your pet to be cared for just like you were there, whether they need to be walked or just let out and played with while you are away. Dogs must be crate trained for boarding or day care at my home. This allows me to make sure my pets and yours are safe when I leave the house.
“She was great with the cats, and so communicative and sweet! Would highly recommend and will be rebooking with her for sure next time I go on a trip. Thanks Kimmie and kids!”
“Jennifer has done drop ins for my cats during two periods of time for me now. She is very thoughtful with the updates she leaves me on the report cards and makes sure I know my girls are safe and well taken care of. I also love when she brings her kids along to give my social butterfly of a cat a little extra attention! I will definitely continue booking with Jennifer.”
“Taylor was wonderful to work with, and her demeaner was perfect for our less than trusting cats. She was also willing to go above and beyond and take care of non-pet tasks while we were away. Taylor will be our first choice next time for our sitter needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to watch over their dogs while they were away. My whole family loves animals, and we currently have 3 dogs: a dachshund, a corgi, and a golden doodle. We take them everywhere with us! For the last decade, I have been working remotely, giving me the flexibility to drop by and attend to your dog. Whether it’s a walk, a quick check in, or some playtime, I’m available! I understand the challenges of balancing work away from home with pet ownership. That’s why a reliable person to keep your dog, engaged throughout the day is invaluable. There’s no greater joy than returning home to a happy and eagerly awaiting furry friend! I have 18 acres and a fenced-in back yard for my dogs. The golden Doodle (Cora Bell) loves everyone, the Dachshund (Dutton) loves to play, and the corgi (Waffles) will run the property until she tuckers out!
“Sharon really goes above and beyond to care for your pets! We booked her multiple times now and she has been wonderful to our elderly cat. Sharon is a great communicator and has been made the booking process very smooth each time!!”
“We will continue to always book with Zaina! She has stayed with our pets for 10+ days and always sends us pictures and loves our fur babies. Zaina is trustworthy and reliable. We had a flight delay and Zaina was able to stay with our pets an extra day. She’s great!”

“Melanie was great! I reached out to her on short notice for doggy daycare and she was very communicative throughout the stay. She sent pictures and took Oakley on walks. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Jennifer and her fur babies were very welcoming. My little Lupe was a little shy initially but Jennifer helped her feel right at home. This is the first time that Lupe stays somewhere without her brother and I think I was more stressed about it than she was. Jennifer sent me pictures of Lulu having a good time and it immediately calmed me down. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Christina is wonderful! Super close to me, very responsive, and clearly cares about dogs. My dog had a blast and came home tired and happy after a day of romping with her pup.”

The love I have for animals is indescribable. Having an animal around fills my heart with so much joy! I'm that person who wants to adopt every dog I see because I know I could give it the best home and family to be loved by. We love to go on walks daily!! If throwing toys and playing fetch is your thing we also love doing that! Whether you’re dog wants to relax or play we’ve got a solution for it all! I have a fenced in backyard that is perfect for any dog to relax or to run! We love to be outside when it’s nice and inside when it’s too hot!

“Brooke and her family were great! They clearly took great care of my pup as he was content around her, but worn out and ready to nap by the time we got in the car. She was really flexible and great at communicating. Would recommend and will use again in the future!”
About: I've had dogs and cats (and everything else in between) for as long as I can remember! I've walked, boarded, and house-sat for cats and dogs of all kinds. I'm in an in-between phase of life and have a very flexible schedule. Let me know how I can help you with your furry friends! Walks/Runs/Drop-ins: I'm currently not working so I am VERY flexible! With that being said, I still like keeping a schedule of some sort. If you are looking for something consistent throughout the week, I'd love to discuss how I can help with a routine that works for you. House-sitting: I've watched up to three dogs for 8 days. I'm open to pretty much anything but would like to meet your pups/cats/other beforehand. I can board but that is dependent on the dog since I have a cat at home. Open to discussion! My home has a fenced in yard for those pups that want to roam.
About: I have tons of experience in doggy day care, and my husband and I moved to the area 3 years ago. He is active duty ARMY, so he can be gone a lot, and what better way to fill the time than with furry friends! I will love your dog like my own. I go to the gym in the morning, than I am home the rest of the day! We will have plenty of time for walks and play time and I hope you meet you and you furry friend soon!

Walk and feed in the morning and then feed and a walk after dinner plus the dog gets free roam in and out of the house because we have a fully fenced in yard I’m a stay at home mom with two little kids! They are two and five. We have a huge fenced in yard and I am never gone for more than an hour or two.
“Jacki was amazing with my puppy! She is very flexible and accommodating. My puppy is not fully potty trained or crate trained yet and it was difficult to find someone to take him. Jacki was a lifesaver! She was the perfect fit for us. Highly recommend.”
“Charlotte had a great day with Lilli and her family! We are thinking she will be in the rotation now for my Charli girl. So many cute pics and I could tell she was loved. I was nervous since it was a first day. But Charlotte was tired when she came home so she must have been played and cuddled. We look forward to spending the week with Lilli and her pups!”
About: My background spans everything from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. I do not just monitor pets, I actively engage them. I focus on positive reinforcement, structure, and maintaining your exact home routine. Owners trust me because I treat their pets like my own. You will receive consistent updates, clear communication, and total peace of mind while you are away. Because I work from home, your pet receives my full attention. My flexible routine ensures consistent neighborhood walks, frequent potty breaks, and dedicated companionship all day long. Whether you need overnight boarding, interactive playdates, daily walking, or quick potty breaks, I easily accommodate your schedule. I offer a safe home environment with one friendly dog for constant companionship. Our routine includes daily leashed neighborhood walks and optional off-leash socialization trips to Martin Dog Park. I also provide secure crating at night for a safe, restful sleep.
About: I have always been around dogs, whether I personally owned them or they were pets of family and friends. I treat every animal as if they were my own! I do not currently have any pets, so I am able to accommodate animals who may have anxiety or prefer to be the only animal in the house. I am a work from home dad and my wife homeschools our 2 children. There will always be someone here to take care of and show your fur baby lots of love! With a large fenced in yard to roam in, even the most active dog will have space to play. I am very flexible when it comes to watching any animal. I have plenty of space to crate an animal, or they may roam free in the house. I am open to walking them around our neighborhood. I do live on a quiet, dead-end road. Any animals that may need special care are always welcome! I will provide as much communication as you would like, including pictures of your pet while they stay with my family.
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I have worked with a wide variety of dog and cat breeds, personalities, ages, and needs. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets requiring extra attention, I understand that every animal is unique and deserves personalized care. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, providing companionship, maintaining routines, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and have experience with pets of different sizes, temperaments, and activity levels. As a dedicated pet lover, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing reliable, compassionate care and giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in trusted hands. As a stay-at-home mom of three children, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive pet care throughout the day. Being home most of the time means pets receive plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, exercise, and affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your pets to exercise and use the bathroom in a clean manicured area. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, and cuddle time. My daily routine is built around caring for others, and I extend that same level of patience, responsibility, and attention to every pet in my care. Whether you need daytime visits, overnight care, or regular check-ins while you’re away, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment where your pets feel comfortable and cared for like part of the family.

About: Hello! I'm a 40yo female and long time animal lover. I had a small farm in Texas and I've always had xlarge breed dogs since being on my own. I am well versed in handling dogs and any protective behaviors, as well as any exercise level you need supported.

I am currently working on a Bachelor's Degree and have a very flexible schedule; I can do walks and overnight stays to keep your pet comfortable whenever you need. My pets always had a schedule, so I'm happy to help keep you and your pets stay on a regular schedule. I am used to dogs needing walks and meal time in the mornings and the evenings, as well as some breaks in the afternoon; just let me know your needs and we'll get it worked out.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve volunteered with shelters and own three of my own for the last 10 years. I’m currently working from home and hoping to get out of the house for a bit by doing drop in visits or dog walks. I’m available to board dogs as well so long as any furry guest gets along with the dogs already in the house. I’m comfortable administering medication so long as instructions are given. I’m certified in canine CPR. Im happy to cater to the needs of your dog and follow any instructions you provide. As im working from home, im available nearly all the time except for a few virtual meetings during the week. Our normal routine is a short walk in the morning, they hang out with me while I work, maybe a walk or a game at lunch, more work from home, then free in the evening for movie nights/parks/bite to eat somewhere dog friendly. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door to the back. I have also converted my office into a dog room with space for extra crate if that’s what is preferred. Animals are allowed on furniture at the owners discretion. I recognize all owners do things a bit differently and I know how worrisome it can be to leave them with a stranger so I want to put your mind at ease by conforming my care to how you prefer.

About: I became a dog mom at 19, and have been dog-sitting off and on ever since! While the extra income is always nice, I mainly do it to prevent coming home with a new puppy every week. I treat all the dogs I meet like they're my own and give them as much love as I do to my own babies - an 11 year old Lab mix and 6 year old German Shepherd! They both have loved every dog I've ever had staying at my house. I'm comfortable with all breeds and all ages, and have no problem giving medications if needed. I am available during the daytime for long walks and have a very flexible work schedule, which means a lot of play time for your pup! I’m currently working remote part-time and have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I have plenty of spare time during the day to spend with your pup! I treat your pets as if they are my own, giving them the same amount of love and attention if not more! I always make sure they are well cared for and that the client comes home to a clean house and happy pets!
“Ashley was amazing with Sosa. First, She was very accommodating. greeted us with a warm welcome. We will definitely use her again.Also. our Sosa loved her dog Emma!!! Ashley sent pictures and videos to kep us updated about his stay. Thank you Ashley for a wonderful time!!”
“We had never used a dog sitter before and were leary of using one. We found Lilli through Rover and brought our two dogs to her home so they could meet her dogs and to see if we were a good fit for each other. Our dogs loved her dogs and her home and they had a great time staying there. We highly recommend Lilli and will use her services again.”
“If you love your dog and want someone who loves your dog as much as you do. Alexandra is that person. My dog had so much fun playing with all the dogs she has there. She has two of her own that are as sweet as can be. Her home is clean and beautiful, her back yard is big and fenced. She was very quick to respond to all my questions, she doesn't take mean dogs that are not a fit. I received many photos and videos during my dog's visit. I couldn't be happier to find Alexandra and will be using her services for as long as she continues to babysit my baby. I knew Alexandra was special because she enjoyed watching the dogs all play together as much as I did.”
“Kylo had such a great time with Melanie! We received constant pictures and updates and were completely at ease during our time out of town. Melanie really loves pups and it shows! Kylo can be anxious in new environments but she seemed to settle down with Melanie in no time! Would definitely recommend Melanie/book with her again!”
“Although this is the first Taylor’s sitting Kiki, I can tell Kiki was happy and comfortable at Taylor’s house and played along with Taylor’s dog, a golden retriever. Taylor’s daily photo and sms update of Kiki’s activities gave my wife and me a peace of mind. We are happy and thankful for Taylor’s care of Kiki. We will definitely ask Taylor for help again when needed.”
“Heather and her son took amazing care of our dogs during our wedding weekend. She asked lots of questions ahead of time, sent us daily photos and check ins, and took the extra time to meet our dogs before their stay. My two normally anxious pups came home as calm as if they had been on a relaxing vacation. Her kindness and professionalism greatly reduced our stress during this crazy time, and I have already been recommending her to anyone who asks. Heather is the best!”
“We were very thankful Mary was available to watch Odin and Oakley! We had a great meet and greet and we felt our pups would be in great hands! They enjoyed their stay with much outdoor play and we knew they would be well cared for. Thank you!”
“Rebeka was absolutely amazing with our dog. He was new to us and we had never boarded him before. She took the time to meet with us beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. She sent multiple updates and photos to help put me at ease. She listened to our requests and did a phenomenal job. I will definitely use her in the future!”
“10 out of 10 recommend. My fur baby seemed to be well taken care of. They would send pics and videos of updates, which I really liked. It honestly looked like she had a mini vacation lol”
“Kat took such great care of Tux! She came home happy and so much less stressed than when she has to stay at a boarder. She sent me pictures of the fun and cuddles they shared. I will definitely rebook for our next weekend trip!”
“Desiree did an excellent job with our two dogs. She was friendly, responsive, and professional. She has the perfect set up to care for your animals and she sends timely updates and photos during the stay. I strongly recommend booking with her.”
“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. She kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid close attention to his needs. Our dog has separation anxiety, and Elizabeth was incredibly patient and compassionate. She made sure he got his daily walks, encouraged him to eat when he was struggling, and treated him like one of her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“As a first time Rover user, I was nervous to leave my fur baby with a stranger. I ended up messaging a few potential people and Ernesto was quick to respond and even took Andy in VERY short notice. Him and his wife were so kind to me when I met them and also my dog came back very happy and excited. I will definitely reach out to Ernesto next time I need a pet sitter.”
