Personalized care for your dog or cat - Afton

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Afton
“I had been working with a local trainer who also did boarding. The last time our Otto was there, I returned with the same amount of food I left him with and he was thinner and a bit agitated. We decided to discontinue using the trainer. So when we had to go out of town on short notice due to a death in my family without having a new border lined up, my cousin told me of this app and I found Brianna. He seemed to enjoy his time there and he didn't miss out on any love and affection while there. We were a little delayed on our return due to an accident shutting down the interstate in both directions. I notified her once we got through the detour of our new arrival time. She was accommodating and understanding. She did an excellent job taking care of Otto and will use her again.”

“Victoria was great. She is a very caring person and you can tell by every interaction. She cared for our senior dog like her own. We will certainly book with her again when we have a need.”

“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.”
“Riley kept me up to date with how my girl was doing throughout her whole stay! Pictures daily with a little update was the perfect thing to not allow me to worry about her. Roxy was so worn out from having so much fun, she slept for the next 3 days! Highly recommend!!”

“Lucy was great to watch my Jango last minute for the weekend of my wedding! I knew he was in good hands when she was giving me constant updates and pictures. Very communicative and my boy was happy being with her too!”

“Our kitty, CoCo, loves attention and loves all people. Makayla took great care of her and kept us updated on her visits. Great to see CoCo in the images and video she shared. Makayla was easy to contact and quickly responded. Her time was greatly appreciated. Thanks”

About: I've adored animals of all kinds my whole life, and have rescued animals as well as petsat for friends and family prior to Rover. My own home is filled with the ornery-ness of two cats and a dog, along with experience caring for my super senior from kittenhood. She is why i have such a soft spot for older pets. I've been lucky to have reptiles and rodents and feel comfortable providing care for a wide variety of animals. Animal behavior and care is a passion of mine, so I love to continuously educate myself and keep my knowledge up to date on the latest care. This helps me keep an eye on body language to make sure i know your pet's wants. needs, and mood. My calendar stays up to date, and my day-to-day is flexible. I am currently studying while also pet sitting, so I am able to focus on making sure pets and their parents are comfortable even when plans change last minute. I honor house rules and follow directions well. There are never too many notes for me to follow and refer back to. I want your pet to be safe and well cared for, so even the slightest concern i will double check with you via Rover.
About: I have worked at a dog boarding and grooming facility for three years, and used to work in the kennels at a veterinary clinic. I'm used to working with dogs and cats and am comfortable with their body language and different temperaments. I am currently open for every day at any times but would prefer to discuss so I could work around my work schedules, I have my own transportation so I am able to visit any time needed I am willing to go visit your pet, walk them, play with them, and possibly bath them. I love spending time with dogs and like walks, runs, or just sitting and enjoying the weather with your fur baby.
About: I love animals! I’ve had my dogs for five years and when I was growing up I was always around horses and dogs even cats! It’s my everyday duty to take care of three dogs! Every dog deserves love! I have a huge fenced in yard they get to run and play in! They are super well taken care of and have tons of toys. They will be loved and taken care of! It’s my everyday duty to take care of three adult dogs. I’m always trying to keep myself busy on my days off to watch your puppers & keep them safe. I love doing it in my free time.🤍🤍 I have a huge yard for them to run & play. Also keep an eye on them when they are outside. Plus they will have time to eat and rest after a day of playing.
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!!!
About: I’m a Mexican-American professional that works in Joplin, MO, but I frequent NWA area for leisure activities. I could help with basic training. Also willing to learn more training skills to help you at home. I’ve had multiple pets growing up including dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, and even hermit crabs over the years. 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.
