“Riley & Dylan were wonderful to our pups! It turns out one of our dogs had trouble going potty outside and they waited until we picked them up so we didn’t stress on our vacation. They sent pictures and updates daily and made our three dogs feel right at home. Thank you!!”
“We loved taking our pup to Brianna!! She was responsive, fun, sent pictures and videos! She even gave Stevie a bath because they all had lots of fun in the dirt and mud! Stevie had such a good time and we definitely will have Brianna watch her again ❤️”
“Very kind. Nice home. Buda looked very comfortable in the big dog bed she provided for him. She sent lots of videos. She provided his evening teeth cleaning treat every night before bed, just like he's used to. Would book again.”
“Samantha was THE BEST sitter I've ever had! I could tell in the daily pictures she sent of my dog that she was so happy and well cared for! I will definitely use Samantha in the future! Thank you again!”
About: I actually go by Luci, and I am an enthusiastic, empathetic, and energetic person. Caring for animals big and small is my passion. I am comfortable caring for animals of all kinds. I am comfortable with birds, snakes, lizards, frogs, cats, dogs, hamsters, ferrets, insects, fish, you name it! I am an aspiring photographer, and outside of Rover I offer photography services for your pets as well! I currently work from home, I am self employed and currently focusing on my photography career. I have a lot of free-time and love spending it with animal companions. I care for pets by giving them constant attention and reassurance. New places can be scary, or if I'm pet sitting in your home, it can be intimidating for an unfamiliar face to invade a pet's space. I focus on emitting calm energy to ensure that I'm not a threat. I want to make your pet feel comfortable and engaged, no matter what environment they're in.
“Jackie is hands down the best sitter we’ve had on Rover in over five years! She’s quick to communicate, great with animals, and a kind person. She’s also been flexible and easy to work with when I was running late. I could not recommend any more highly.”
“Love how my dog quickly became comfortable around Amanda’s household. She have a great schedule for the pups. Great communication, updates often, and very quick to reply. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends.”

Over the years, I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family, caring for animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I truly love animals and can’t imagine my life without them. Whether your pet loves just relax or cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own because I know they’re family.

About: I have owned pets my whole life, including domestic and wild pets. Dogs, cats, squirrels, coons and possums if they need me I take them in and give them what they need! Because I am single, semi retired and self-employed I am able to make my own schedule. I can be available seven days a week, 365 days a year! I have a 3 year-old blue heeler rescue male pup and 3 year old male rescue cat and they love each other. As of June 2026 I am under contract to sell my 10 acre glampground and have moved down the road to Jane, MO! BIggie is the glampground pup and interacts with all of the Airbnb guest pets with no problems whatsoever and they typically fall in love with him and bring him inside at night, although he prefers to have the run of the place outside all day and he won’t come in until he’s ready!!!

I have a female cat of my own. Had her since she was a kitten, she was a stray and got her shots as soon as we were able too. I would greatly enjoy taking care of your pets! I know pets help reduce stress and anxiety and are very important companions for families big or small. I will do my best to treat your pets as if they were my own and give them all the love, respect, and care they deserve. I work part time in Joplin and am open about my work schedule and let you know when I would arrive at your house to care for your pet. If you agree with those times then I’ll book. I have an indoor/outdoor cat. I have a very big yard but it’s not fenced off. The neighborhood is quite and small. I have the option of walking them for long or short periods.
