Highly-rated overnight sitters - Steelville
“I cannot say enough great things about Alyssa! Our two doggos, Ava and Peyton, are two very unique pitties. Ava is 10 and is a nervous Nel who just likes to cuddle up and relax. Peyton is almost 3 and more like a wreck it Ralph. As worried as I was that Peyton would destroy their home or that Ava would have a heart attack, they ended up loving their stay! Not only that, but I could tell that they got exactly what they needed from Alyssa and her family because when we got home, Ava and Pey were spent. Alyssa always remained in contact with me and answered all my questions and accommodated a last minute request. Thanks, Alyssa!!!”
“I was so nervous leaving my Chai with a sitter for the first time for such a long period of time but it was one of the BEST decisions I ever made! Chai was a n excellent hands. She lived her best dog life while with Emily and even took her first camping trip! I am so thankful for people like Emily and her family!!”
“We left our yorkie, Richie with Julia for over a week and Julia took great care of Richie, took him on regular long walks, shared pictures and videos of Richie and ensured that he ate well and kept him comfortable in her home. Thanks to Julia we were worry free about Richie on our vacation”
“Our dog Georgie had a great time with Meagen. Her fenced backyard is spacious that dogs can play all day. Georgie seems enjoyed so much playing outside and found his new furry friends that didn't want to go home. I definitely recommend Meagen as she knows how to handle dogs!”
“Lorraine was absolutely fantastic with my pups! Not only they were well taken care of but she also gave me updates and photos of them daily! And as a mama of two pups that brings peace of mind. My pups loved her and adapted really well. I totally recommend Lorraine as she is a very sweet lady and it shows how much she loves animals ❤️ thank you !”
“Superb experience in all aspects. Initial inquities, booking process and all communications were expedient and clear. This was the first time boarding for our 7 month old puppy (song with his 4 year old "sister". Alexandra having experience with Great Danes was so very helpful and made our fur babies feel welcomed and loved. They especially enjoyed time with the girls! Unfortunately (for the sitters) the weather was rainy throughout, but Alexandra and daily were up to the challenges of wet pups with muddy paws. In addition, the younger one's night separation anxiety required some medication and thoughtful handling, all of which was accommodated and communicated with ease. The dogs were extremely well cared for and loved, and we received regular updates. Simply put, we couldn't be happier and will definitely use their services again whether for short or week long needs in the future. We recommend them with absolute highest praise and confidence!”
“Jenna was fantastic, flexible, and fluid in all communication. We were in a pinch from out of state and she responded immediately, was willing to do a meet prior to ensure it was all ok and coordinated with multiple people in my family for drop offs and pick ups throughout the long weekend. She sent pics consistently with context and updates and you could see how at home our sweet Geti girl became after settling in. She really observed Geti to ensure she was as comfortable as possible and gave her all the cuddles. Geti was able to go freely in and outside and relax by the window. We would recommend Jenna to anyone needing some pup sitting or care!”
“Enrica and her family were absolutely wonderful! We were a bit anxious about leaving our guy somewhere new over the holidays, but we couldn’t be more pleased. Enrica was extremely responsive to messages, sent regular updates and photos, and took great care of Gimli. When our return flight was delayed, she was very understanding about a late pick up. Thank you, Enrica!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and Megan and Vitaliy have set the bar high. So kind and welcoming to my 4 month old cavapoo Honey. They truly treated her like their own and were super patient with her since she is so little. I was so nervous to leave her but the pictures and videos and updates they sent gave me huge piece of mind. I’m so grateful to them and will absolutely bring Honey back. ❤️”
“Barbra is wonderful with our Charlie. I can see from his interactions with her that he trusts her and is so comfortable there. She is kind, accommodating, and has excellent communication. Charlie always comes home happy after a stay!”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Lindsey is an amazing sitter!! She shows a lot of love to Chico and he loves her back. Chico came back to us clean, well fed and with no issues. Lindsey's children are very fond of him too. And I appreciate the fact that she sends me pictures of him at play with his furry friends every day. That keeps me at peace to know he's having an enjoyable stay.”
“Peanut was in the best of hands with Rita. Our flight wound up being delayed and Rita was so kind and understanding that we had to extend our puppys stay. She went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank you so much!!!”
“Cassandra was very accommodating for my overactive schnauzer. It was a last minute request & she arranged a meet & greet with her dog. My dog was welcomed & stayed in her room with her dog. It was a good experience. Thanks Cassandra”
“Both of our dogs were definitely sad to leave Megan and Vince. They provided such great care, were super communicative and sent so many pictures. We will definitely reach back out when we are in need to care for our dogs. I found such comfort during our trip knowing our dogs were in GREAT hands!”
“Anita was great with my pup!! She sent pictures and updates daily - her home is clean and she lives in such a dog friendly neighborhood for multiple walks and fun!! Definitely recommend booking with her!!”
“Our dog regularly stays with Brian when we travel and every visit has been wonderful. Brian keeps us updated with information and pictures and our dog comes home well taken care of and very happy. Brian is a terrific sitter and I highly recommend him.”

“The best sitter we could ask for. Our cat, Bruce, was sick while we were out of town and Bethany went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and had everything he needed to feel better. An angel.”
“Lila was wonderful, thoughtful and gentle with Sparky. We came home and he was happy and we felt that he was well taken care of. The daily check ins were fun and we felt comfortable and relaxed that he was with a kind and compassionate person. Thank you again for all you did.”
“It means so much to me that I can go away and know that my two elderly cats with many medical needs are in good hands. Maria is so gentle and sweet with them and makes sure all of their needs are met and medications are given. I am so grateful for her!”
“Kat is fantastic! My two very shy cats loved Kat; she kindly spent time with both of them during each drop in visit we scheduled for 5 consecutive days and provided us with daily pics/updates. I highly recommend Kat for any pet sitting or walking needs. Thanks, Kat!”
“Lauren's care of and communication about our two cats Ed and Kelly while we were on vacation was excellent! She really helped us relax and have a great time knowing the kitties were in good hands. We will definitely book Lauren again if she's available next time we have a need for drop ins. Thanks so much Lauren!!”
“Kailyn took very good care of our two precious cats while we were away. She sent us LOTS of photos every day. Honestly, we’re not sure what was cuter – – the pictures of our kitties, or the fact that Kailyn took so many! Thanks, Kailyn and Rover!”
“Stephen was absolutely wonderful watching Brick and Odie! He went above and beyond, sending us pictures, taking them on a nice walk, and keeping us updated. His communication was excellent, and we could tell our dogs were happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for his help and look forward to having him watch them again!”
“Chelsea was kind enough to drop in and take care of my two space cadets. She had excellent communication, was very patient with them and kept to their schedule. We will absolutely be utilizing her again in the future.”
“Mason was a phenomenal pet sitter. She was able to fulfill my need for a pet sitter during a holiday weekend, given less than 2 weeks notice. Mason gave prompt reports on my cat and even fed my aquarium fish and watered my indoor plants. She was patient with my feisty indoor cat, responding mindfully to my cat’s communication cues demanding space. I highly recommend Mason! 5/5 stars”
“Cassandra is wonderful! She did a meet and greet with us and our cats prior to the appointment. We had her drop in for our cats while we were away and she took great care of them. She is a true lover of all animals and very respectful. We just found our new permanent cat sitter! Thank you so much ?”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Steelville
“Our terrier mix puppy has been going to Grace’s for a few weeks now (2x weekly for a full work day) and I can’t say enough good things! My husband and I found Grace because on the days my husband can’t come home during lunch, we didn’t want our puppy to be crated or left unattended all day. Grace and her family treat our puppy like their own dog, she becomes part of their family while she’s there. She gets tons of playtime, attention, affection. I absolutely love seeing the “report card” pictures after each day. It’s very clear my puppy is well cared for during her visits. It’s now to the point when we’re pulling up to Grace’s, our puppy gets excited because she knows where she’s at! 10/10 recommend!”
“Emily was absolutely the best. She gave me updates on TJ while we were being tourists. Her home is very welcoming as is Emily. I immediately liked her from the moment we met. I felt very comfortable leaving TJ in Emily’s capable hands. A bonus is her son played with TJ. Would book again if ever we are in the area again. Thank you Emily !!”

“We're new pet parents. We've had our 8 month old Goldendoodle, Boone, for close to 3 months. We needed to find reliable and loving care for our boy. Stacey was awesome. She arranged a meet and greet at her home and Boone was instantly at home, playing with her dogs and their toys. She's a very caring, loving person and her love for animals is evident. Boone thoroughly enjoyed himself and didn't even care when I left. I wasn't sure if he's would leave to come back home! We will definitely use Stacy again and highly recommend her for your fur babies. Oh she also sent us a picture of him and it appeared he was smiling.”

About: I've always had dogs and recently lost my beloved German Shepherd. I have helped my sister in her pet care business for several years now from pups to farm animals. I work full time remotely from home and have the time and desire to keep your fur babies company while they do the same for me. I currently work full-time remotely from home. I'd welcome some company and walk/play breaks in my day. I am often around on Saturdays and Sundays as well. I have a fenced yard for play and potty and would welcome pets into our home just like we did with our pets. I don't have any children at home as they are now all grown. I will also mainly schedule one dog at a time unless they are from the same family to make sure everyone is safe and happy.
“She was wonderful with our two dogs. She offered to make our dog, who had a belly ache, some broth. She sent pictures throughout the day. Overall great experience.”
“Karen provided excellent care for my daughter’s dog Pippin! Pippin can be anxious but she was right at home with Karen and her dogs. Karen sent us lots of pictures and updates and was an overall outstanding dog sitter!”
About: Experience with owning and caring for 4 dogs & 1 cat, in my household- at once. Over 16 years of experience with Dachshunds, Pitbull’s, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, many breeds of cats, Flemish giant rabbits, and turtles. Enjoy being active and taking care of our little creature and other’s loved ones! ❤️ Every animal is different, so their care needs to be unique and carefully planned for their happiness. Giving lots of attention and love to your little creatures when you are working hard- and you don’t have to rush home to let them out or feed them. Want to spend my free time helping and taking care of the beautiful and loving animals we have the chance to meet. Very fortunate enough to have many animals in my life. My schedule on the app is always up to date. If I am booked on the schedule, please still free to reach out, as cancelations happen! 😊 I just moved into a new house, so I created different spaces for the animals to safely play, and relax in. I am very flexible on drop off and pick up times. I love meeting new people, and have no problem traveling to clients houses to sit their animals. Overall, I love every type of animal, and even though I do not have a dog of my own currently, I hope to add a furry friend to my family shortly after I grow my family. :)
“Megan and Vitaliy are true dog lovers. They take care of my two boys as if they were their own. When my puppy wouldn’t eat, Megan hand fed him to ensure he ate for the day. I love that they can run around outside in their huge fenced in yard…. And because their dogs, Clover and Cooper are also small like my boys, they are supervised outside at all times due to the hawks in the area. My boys come home tired from playing and having so much fun. I would recommend Megan and Vitaliy to anyone for the care they provide.”
“Angelita was so welcoming and flexible! You can tell she loves what she does. Cora seemed to have had such a good time that she slept all day and that’s rare with her puppy energy.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Vera caring for both of my Yorkies! She was loving, attentive, and took excellent care of them. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. I left extremely happy with her service and the care she provided. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely use her again! ❤️🐾”

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, I was the kid who wanted to meet every pet I came across, and that passion has only grown into adulthood. Along with having my own two dogs and cat, I've spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, treating each one as if they were my own. I also worked as a stablehand at a local farm, where I cared for a wide variety of animals—including cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, goats, cows, and even swans. I've also volunteered with dog walking programs in the city, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved companion with someone new. That's why my goal is to provide the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I believe communication, reliability, and attention to detail are incredibly important when caring for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cozy couch cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Caring for animals has always been more than a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy, and I would love to help you! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work a typical 9–5 during the week and have some flexibility for evening visits, but I primarily focus on pet care on weekends. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet and provide reliable, attentive care while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they're able to stick to their normal routine, so I always do my best to follow each owner's instructions and provide care that's tailored to their pet's needs. Whether I'm stopping by for visits, going on walks, or caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll keep up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course provide plenty of attention and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: Hi, I’m Matt! Throughout middle school and high school, I volunteered at a local animal rescue, providing care to various dogs.

Additionally, I've grown up with dogs, and we currently have three of our own who I’m with every day and love very much. I’m a college student (currently on break from classes) who works part time, so my availability is built around this. This means my week to week availability may not always look the same, but I will leave my schedule open for Rover whenever I can, ensuring I provide your dog with proper care. When caring for your dog in your home, they will always be safe and sound. For drop in visits, I will make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine to ensure their comfort. For walks, I will follow your dog’s pace, while always keeping my hand through the loop of the leash and wrapped around my wrist to keep them secure.
About: When I was 8 my father surprised me with our first ever dog Harley! I fell in love instantly and am so grateful to have grown up with him in our family. When I grew older I took on more rolls taking care of Harley which gave me basic experience in pet care. When he was a senior dog I learned a lot through his medical issues like how to handle medicine and emergency vet visits. Our late dog, Dobby gave me puppy experience showing me how much time, care, and patience is needed for little pups. Anything you need for your dog I’m willing to do! Im a part time college student who also works part time as a server! This opportunity seems like something that could perfectly for my unusual schedule. Dog walking and quick house stop-ins would be my speciality! House sitting and at home sitting is something that would be most easiest if done with a notice in advance:) With the years of experience you can trust me with your home and your pets! I’m a college girl looking for an opportunity that benefits both parties, it’s just a bonus that I love animals! In my care, you and your pets have absolutely nothing to worry about.

“I cannot say enough great things about Alyssa! Our two doggos, Ava and Peyton, are two very unique pitties. Ava is 10 and is a nervous Nel who just likes to cuddle up and relax. Peyton is almost 3 and more like a wreck it Ralph. As worried as I was that Peyton would destroy their home or that Ava would have a heart attack, they ended up loving their stay! Not only that, but I could tell that they got exactly what they needed from Alyssa and her family because when we got home, Ava and Pey were spent. Alyssa always remained in contact with me and answered all my questions and accommodated a last minute request. Thanks, Alyssa!!!”

“Superb experience in all aspects. Initial inquities, booking process and all communications were expedient and clear. This was the first time boarding for our 7 month old puppy (song with his 4 year old "sister". Alexandra having experience with Great Danes was so very helpful and made our fur babies feel welcomed and loved. They especially enjoyed time with the girls! Unfortunately (for the sitters) the weather was rainy throughout, but Alexandra and daily were up to the challenges of wet pups with muddy paws. In addition, the younger one's night separation anxiety required some medication and thoughtful handling, all of which was accommodated and communicated with ease. The dogs were extremely well cared for and loved, and we received regular updates. Simply put, we couldn't be happier and will definitely use their services again whether for short or week long needs in the future. We recommend them with absolute highest praise and confidence!”
“Jenna was fantastic, flexible, and fluid in all communication. We were in a pinch from out of state and she responded immediately, was willing to do a meet prior to ensure it was all ok and coordinated with multiple people in my family for drop offs and pick ups throughout the long weekend. She sent pics consistently with context and updates and you could see how at home our sweet Geti girl became after settling in. She really observed Geti to ensure she was as comfortable as possible and gave her all the cuddles. Geti was able to go freely in and outside and relax by the window. We would recommend Jenna to anyone needing some pup sitting or care!”
“Enrica and her family were absolutely wonderful! We were a bit anxious about leaving our guy somewhere new over the holidays, but we couldn’t be more pleased.

Thank you, Enrica!”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”

“Both of our dogs were definitely sad to leave Megan and Vince. They provided such great care, were super communicative and sent so many pictures. We will definitely reach back out when we are in need to care for our dogs. I found such comfort during our trip knowing our dogs were in GREAT hands!”
“Our dog regularly stays with Brian when we travel and every visit has been wonderful. Brian keeps us updated with information and pictures and our dog comes home well taken care of and very happy. Brian is a terrific sitter and I highly recommend him.”
“Lori was fantastic! She was able to take Colby last minute, and it worked out perfectly. Lori was so sweet and I know that Colby was lovingly cared for. She sent us pictures and stayed in touch.”
“Megan was super nice to work with and I highly recommend putting your dog in her care.. My sister and I put our two Maltese, Holly and Baeu with her for 5 days and I could tell they were well taken care of..”
“Sarah took great care of Pongo! She kept us updated with lots of pictures and you could tell how much she cared about making him comfortable and giving him the best time while we were away. Definitely will look to her to care for him whenever we need a sitter!”
“Sara took a great care of our little guy. She gave timely updates and I can see that our Leo had so much fun and comfortable at her place. I would definitely keep our little guy with Sara again.”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Our dog Henry stayed with Betsy and Ron for 6 days June 2026. They were fantastic in every way. Very friendly and interested in making sure Henry (and my wife and I) were completely comfortable with the arrangement during our vacation. We received frequent text updates with pictures which we truly appreciated. We would gladly book with them again in the future.”
