“Just passing through and needed to leave Tobi somewhere safe for part of the day. Francie was great, exceeded expectations. Tobi loved playing with the other dt. This was our first Rover experience, but we'll be doing it again as we continue our travels.”
“Jasper had a really great time at doggy daycare came home tired. The communication was great she sent me photos. Will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so muc”
“Damica is trustworthy and excellent with my pup. Kya has come home tired and happy from daycare both times I have picked her up, which is exactly what I wanted! Damica is quick to respond and provides updated videos/photos throughout the day so I can see what Kya is up to. Will definitely rehire.”
About: I LOVE animals! I grew up on a farm in Arizona surrounded by dogs, chickens, cows, hamsters, and even a few ferrets and a snake! I adopted my own fur baby (an almost three year old lab, Pyrenees, Newfoundland mix🥰) a few years ago, and we are excited to be helping y’all out with your pets! I’m currently not working besides taking care of pets on Rover, so my availability is pretty open and flexible. In very few instances, I may need to request a slight changing in time frame to accommodate for my two kiddos under two (fun times! 😂 ) and dropping off/picking up my partner from his job. All things considering, life as a stay at home mom allows me to be most available for doggy day care and boardings, but if you’re fine with my sister tagging along to help with my away-from-home sittings, I can sit your house for you as well (overnights most of the time for me are a no-go, but I’m a night owl/early bird so I can come and leave early/late, and my sister is able to spend overnights as well if needed throughout most of the week. But you never know so please feel free to talk to me and we can see if we can work something out 😊). If you’re considering boarding/doggy day care, my apartments have a dog park just a short walk away from my unit, so I would be able to provide them with ample exercise, and both my kiddos and my pup LOVE and get along well with other pets. We are also conveniently located only five minutes from the airport, so you can drop them off on your way to vacation and pick them up without going too far out of your way on your way home! I have experience with most breeds, ages, and needs of dogs, and while I’m not trained in any type of CPR/first aid (nor have I ever needed to use it), I have the head knowledge. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions! Thank you for booking with me! Your pets will be well loved. 🥰 NOTICE: I NO LONGER ACCEPT PITS OR PIT MIXES TO BOARD. I HAVE HAD TOO MANY CASES WHERE A SITUATION AROSE WHERE MY DOG OR ANOTHERS’ DOG(S) HAVE BEEN PUT IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION DUE TO A PIT. AS OF NOW, I STILL ACCEPT HOUSE SITTINGS WITH PITS/PIT MIXES. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. 🥲 As I said, this is my only source of income, so I can cater to the needs of your pet right along with my own with practically nothing to stand in the way! 😊 I treat your pet like my own (yes, they even sleep on my bed sometimes 😂), and I honestly take even more care over yours to ensure the best experience all around. This means leashing them EVERY TIME we go outside and BEFORE any doors are opened, giving them space if needed and around other dogs (not including my own if boarding/doggy day care), etc.
“Great doggy sitter. Our 2 loved staying with Veronica and Ella. She sent pics and a video while they were there. Ella and LuLu the 2 doodles had so much fun playing in the backyard in the snow. Gia enjoyed the sunshine and the snow. I would trust Veronica to take care of our pups when we are in St Louis again.”
“Jennifer was great! Ari had the best time. I could tell Ari was going to have the best time as soon as I set foot in the doorway. She had such a kind energy. Thank you so much for taking great care of my pup, Jennifer!”
“Isa has been wonderful and takes very good care of Evie for me. She is responsive, and checks in during the day to let me know how she is doing. I’m very thankful to have a safe and fun place to take my pup. She is the best.”
About: I have had my own dogs for my entire life and now care for my childrens' dogs when they go out of town. My neighbors have relied on my to walk their dogs during the day. I am currently retired from my last position as a massage therapist and my own dog of 16 years passed away a year ago. I am home most days, and can give your pet my unconditional attention. I have a fenced yard and live alone so there will be no distractions from caring for you pup. I tend to be away from home only for a couple of hours, if that, most days.
“Allison was the perfect person to take care of my shy pooch. She was calm and reassuring and he seemed very comfortable with her. She took him for a long walk, which he always enjoys. And she lives very close to the hotel I stay at. I’ll definitely use her on my next visit to St. Louis.”
About: I've had my own pets since 1991. I had a rabbit and dog in college and have learned over the decades how to best care for our friends. I've just retired from a busy career, so I know how important it is to find someone to care for your animals when you're away; even if it's just the gym or happy hour after work. I've fostered for several area rescues and know folks have a different idea of appropriate care. I only use fear free methods, because our animals need to know they can trust us. I've had young high energy dogs who need play and long walks and I've cared for my dogs in their last years when they needed additional care or special medical needs including pills, dressings, eye drops and carrying older dogs who aren't as mobile anymore. I would love to get to know your pets and help you give them the best life. I'm currently retired and searching for part time employment. I don't mind early or late night visits since our dogs don't have a 9 to 5 schedule. I do have an active social and volunteering schedule but it's flexible enough to accommodate your needs. I have cared for many dogs who need to be crated or who are door dashers and escape artists. I have a calm energy that helps put pets at ease. I'm a fan of high value treats to make the crate a special place. My personal dogs are crate trained but I know that's not for everyone.
“Alexandra was extremely accommodating, communicative, and fantastic to work with! She sent great updates about our pup and made us feel extremely comfortable! Would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve grown up with a variety of pets, and love learning their personalities. More than comfortable with wide ranges of ages and can provide medication, activities, and lots of love! I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I can care for pets after the hours of 5pm on weekdays and anytime on the weekends. I am flexible, outside of weekday working hours 8am-5pm. I feed/water, pet/cuddle, clean up after, bathe/groom, walk/play with my pet on a daily basis, depending on the service, I do the same for my clients.
“Lisa’s daycare services have been excellent for my pup! I was eager to find a place where my dog, Laika, could interact with a small, familiar group of dogs more regularly since a large daycare environment would likely be overwhelming to her. Lisa has been super thoughtful and accommodating to both my pup and my own hectic schedule, and I can tell Laika is always eager to see her new friends when she goes to daycare.”
About: WashU graduate and lifelong lover of all small dogs. My household is fully vaccinated, and I will maintain proper social distancing when meeting :) I also offer professional pet photography PLEASE NOTE: Last minute bookings (<36hr notice) will be charged at holiday rate. Daycare = ~10 hour coverage Boarding = ~10-24 hour coverage ..... Hours beyond that may incur an additional fee. I am a professional photographer and can't resist taking pics of animals. So I will definitely send you a ton of pics when hanging out with your pup. Example album: https://bit.ly/2k1jpEL I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and follow all special guidelines when taking care of your animals. I am also very experienced with special needs pets. I will try to understand your dog and its personality and motivations. Every dog is different, and it's important to treat them as individuals when taking care of them. I have loved many breeds of dogs, including temperamental rescue pit bulls and more boutique breeds like papillon, yorkie, maltese, etc. I am also cat friendly! I love cats. They're crazy lol. I own a business and work from home full time, so my availability is wide open. Any dates and times I am unavailable are marked well in advanced. My schedule is flexible, and I am happy to take repeat/daily dogs too. I live in a pet-free house with a fenced back yard + doggy door, and a large neighborhood to walk around in. My home is safe for your dog to explore, but I will never leave them unattended anywhere.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life from my own dog and cat to my family and friends dogs. Family and friends have asked me to feed, walk, stop by for a pee break, and sit their pets. My mom currently has a puppy who I help train and sit so I know a lot about high value treats and can help train your pups if needed. I have also dog sat for senior dogs and know how much extra love and care they may need. I work remotely full time so am available to care for your pet during the work week and or on the weekends while you’re away! In my home, your pet will be treated like family! I work remotely, so I’ll be around to give them plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe, whether that means cozy spots to relax, regular potty breaks, or sticking to their usual routine for feeding, walks, and play. I live near Forest Park.

Mary B.Star Sitter
“Mary has watched our pets many times. She goes above and beyond to make our pet comfortable and safe. She gave our dog Millie more attention and affection than anyone else who has watched our pets. She is intuitive to the needs of our pet and really was able to connect and understand our dogs personality traits. She is a great communicator, sent us lots of photo updates and is very reliable. Mary is our go-to for watching Millie when we are out of town. Highly recommend!”

Amy H.
“I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Amy! From the moment she met my dogs Iko and Clinton, it was clear they had a natural connection. Iko (Border Collie) can be a little pushy at first, but Amy was incredibly patient, kind, and gentle, which kept him calm and behaved. She went above and beyond in caring for Clinton—taking the time for walks, playtime, and even sending regular updates on administrations of his medicine. It was obvious she truly cared and paid attention to both of their needs and personality. I came home to healthy dogs and everything was in great shape. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets.”

She is a loving caretaker, and she is professional, thoughtful, and reliable. Tilly's joyful reaction whenever she sees Julia speaks for itself!
