“Cliff took such great care of my pup! They took a nice long walk together, complete with nice scenery and a cute photo. Cliff even came equipped with treats! Highly recommend.”

“Gabbie is great! My pup is pretty shy and going through some health concerns. Gabbie was attentive to what my dog needs, has been consistently on-time and has built up trust with her in the span of a week. Sadie seems really excited when Gabbie comes by and seems to enjoy their mid-day play sessions!”

“Hope did a wonderful job checking in on my Marca. Sent a bunch of pictures for me and communicated clearly what she did while at my place. Would book again!”

“Ross did a great job caring for my cats and I recommend his services to anyone looking for a pet sitter. He was very trustworthy and provided great daily updates. Thanks Ross!”


About: Hi! I'm a senior at Washington University in St. Louis and a huge dog lover! I have a golden retriever named Gus, so I have plenty of experience with dogs, especially larger breeds. I love being outdoors and going on walks, and I would love to have your pup join me! I'm reliable, responsible, and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and love while we're together! I am currently taking a light course load so I have lots of time in my schedule to walk and hang out with dogs! I'm very flexible and am available last minute. I am also happy to come meet your dog beforehand to make sure I am a good fit :) I will treat every dog I am with as if they are my own. I am very responsible, observant, and completely loving with other people's dogs.

About: Just a dog mom and passionate animal lover with a dream of spoiling every fur baby in STL. I own a large, reactive senior dog that is my pride and joy so I’m well versed in reactive dogs with spicy personalities. Disclaimer: I’m a physician with unpredictable hours but I know my schedule months in advance so we’ll work together to find a good routine. I will always be transparent if I can’t provide the care needed due to time constraints. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, age, or medical needs and cats are more than welcome to join the gang ! My schedule varies due to switching between clinic and hospital rotations every month. I’m usually available in the evenings and weekends. I know my schedule months in advance so will depend on what service you're looking for and what dates Unfortunately, my dog is not friendly with other animals so I cannot provide boarding. I can only offer house sitting if able to alternate between my home and yours
“Hayley was the first Rover sitter I’ve used to check in on my kitties. She communicated with me so well about my cats needs as well as sending many pics while she was there playing with them/ giving attention. I’d definitely recommend Hayley if you’re looking for a great and trustworthy pet sitter!”


“Kyani was great with our high energy husky while we went for a weekend away! She was very responsive, sent over photos and reports and took great care of our dog! Thank you!”

“Haley was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! She was very attentive and sent updates with every visit! I would highly recommend her and will plan to use her for any future needs.”

About: Hello! I have previously built a small dog sitting clientele in the city of Columbia between the years of 2017-2019. In 2019 I moved to STL and worked through Rover for about two more years until I got a full time job. Currently dipping my toes back into pet care! Although I am in St. Louis I am willing to travel to areas including, but not limited to; St. Charles, Wentzville, O'Fallon, etc. My set days off are Sunday and Monday. I do still currently have a fulltime job, so for the time being I will only be able to do drop in visits and walks. I am comfortable working with either dogs or cats. I have a 4 year old orange cat that I rescued at just 2 weeks old, so I have experience working with very small kittens as well. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! I work about 30 hours a week, but will not let this effect how I care for your pet! My days off are always Sunday and Monday, and I am available at anytime either of those days, as well as most evenings and certain mornings. I unfortunately cannot offer services in my own home, but I am more than willing to provide pet watching in the clients home. I am able to do drop in visits, feedings, hair brushes, playtime, walks or whatever your pet needs while you're at work or just out for the day.

About: I have always been passionate about animal care, specifically dogs. I have 3.5 years of veterinary technician experience and have also worked at boarding facilities such as Pet Paradise. I am a student at Saint Louis University majoring in Biology, furthering my education in animal behavior. I enjoy jogging in my spare time, and have the stamina needed to play with or jog with pets. I am available on weekends during the day and most evenings. There’s nothing I love more than taking care of pets! I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! I am a current graduate student, and therefore am working several hours a day during the week, but I am available most nights and on the weekends anytime! I am a helicopter parent when it comes to my own dog, and treat other pets with the same level of care and caution. I love sending pictures (if allowed) to ensure great care, and frequently keeps owners updated on how their fur babies are doing.
“Latasha looked after our kitty (Lazare) and house for a week in July. She was very professional and courteous. She took the time to write down instructions on our meet and greet. Lazare loved her! I appreciated her communication and photos and she also took good care of the house and plants. I wholeheartedly recommend Latasha.”


“Claire was wonderful with our puppy Vinny. Vinny has been struggling a lot with separation anxiety and was had Claire come to watch him while we were out of the house for a few hours. She was sure to keep Vinny comfortable and cater to his needs (which can be difficult with a needy puppy). I would book Claire with 100% confidence and look forward to working with her again.”

About: Hi! My name is Grace, and I'm a pediatric nurse with a lifelong love of animals. Caring for others—whether they're children or pets—is at the heart of who I am. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members while you're away. I have over eight years of pet care experience and have worked with dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I am comfortable with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who may need extra patience, medication administration, or specialized care. My nursing background has strengthened my attention to detail, reliability, and ability to remain calm in unexpected situations, giving pet owners added peace of mind. When caring for your pets, I treat them like my own. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, sticking to their routine, or providing medications, I tailor my care to meet each pet's individual needs. I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and stress-free while you're away. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to help you feel connected and reassured. My goal is to create a positive experience for both you and your pet. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members and provide compassionate, dependable care you can count on! I work 3 12 hour shifts a week, but am very flexible ! On my days off I am completely open to drop ins, day boarding, etc! I have one dog at home who is very friendly! We have a large dog area to walk safely in! Additionally we have done lots of leash training with our current dog.

Paige is, hands down, one of the best pet sitters we've ever had. From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, not just the checklist of tasks. She sent frequent photo updates throughout each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away — it felt like we never really left. Beyond the basics, Paige went above and beyond: she cleaned up a mess without being asked and kept the litter box spotless the entire time. Little things like that show real attentiveness and care, not just showing up and clocking out. If you're looking for someone thoughtful, reliable, and truly attentive to your pet's needs, look no further. I cannot say enough good things about Paige — I will be absolutely be booking her again.

Candela is such an amazing dog sitter! She came over to meet Auggie ahead of her first time watching him. She gave him lots of cuddles, refilled his water, and gave him multiple opportunities to go outside while I was away at work. She is a great communicator and followed all of my instructions. Auggie was visibly happy in the photos she sent and clearly became quick friends with Candela! Very glad to have found her to take care of Auggie on a weekly basis! Highly recommend!!
