About: Over the past 20 years I’ve owned and cared for dogs (both puppies and elderly), cats, reptiles, rodents, and invertebrates. I’ve rescued a pup and trained a couple high energy dogs, one with a great deal of anxiety and fear aggression.I have experience cat sitting for various out of town owners over the years I currently go to school part time so my schedule is pretty flexible right now. I have a one year old pup who is very active and would love to make some new friends if the opportunity arises. I love to stay active, spend time outdoors, and meet new animal friends. Providing pet care is a job I was made for. Whether in my own home, or in a clients home, I can guarantee that your pet will get the care they are accustomed to. I am a detail oriented mother myself and understand the value of knowing your instructions will be followed and your babies will be safe.
About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. I am comfortable with all animals, bigger, small, and comfortable with care, feeding, and medication if necessary. I just moved to the area and am very flexible and fitting in pet care for your pet with a very flexible schedule, I am open and available for all evenings, weekends and holidays and can do drop in walking with flexibility during the day and in the morning. I offer drop in care at your home and I am open to all aspects of caring for your pet and their needs above and beyond just walking
“Gabrielle walked my mom’s two rowdy border terriers for several weeks multiple times a week. She always showed up on time, was courteous and respectful and was great with the dogs. She was also very communicative. She always sent a photo and let us know how many times they peed and pooped. Thank you, Gabrielle!”
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. At one point I was taking care of 3 dogs. Currently helping my roommate train her small dogs! I am able to care for pets most nights and weekends! Can stay overnight or make a quick stop for potty breaks, walks, and lovings. I keep a relatively strict feeding schedule but know when to throw in some extra treats for fun. I do my best to exercise with pets and get their energy out in a safe manner.
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life! I love dogs in all sizes and have the most experience with chihuahuas from puppies to much older puppies. I love going for walks and going places with doggies but I’m also not opposed to a leisurely stroll or hanging out on the couch! Currently I am waiting to start my full time position so I have lots of availability and can start immediately! I am doing this because I love animals and I need a little extra cash to get me by! I am willing to go for walks and do drop ins. I have recently been house sitting for family members with multiple dogs and I have taken those dogs on walks, to the vet, and even to camp. We play and hang out and I spend the night with them!
“Katie was wonderful walking our dog Maizy! Katie's approach to her job is very professional. She provided clear communication after each visit regarding how Maizy was doing and Maizy did really great with Katie! Thank you Katie and highly recommend her services.”
“Laura is very helpful, dependable and thoughtful. Laura has been helping me out while I have been stuck traveling from flight delays....with a couple of extra visits for my pup. I cannot be more grateful to Laura for her extra help at the last minute.”
About: I love dogs and cats and have some extra time so I couldn’t think of a better way to fill it. I have previous experience working as a dog walker. I’ve had dogs and cats as pets and feel comfortable with all sizes. I’m always the go to dog sitter for my friends and I really enjoy it. I think it’s really fun to get to know others dog personalities. I have my own transportation and am reliable. I really value good communication and will strive to be as available as I can. I’m super over protective of my pets and will definetly extend that with yours so you can feel comfortable when leaving your met with me. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t get along with! My schedule is lighter this year at work so I can be available evenings, nights and weekends mostly. Can also accommodate early mornings if needed. I have experience with dogs in crates and am comfortable using different ones. I take safety very seriously and would treat your pet as my own.
“Sam was excellent and exceeded our expectations when caring for our golden retriever, Maggie! Loved the updates, pictures and videos! 10/10, would hire again in a heartbeat.”
“We love Frances she is amazing she's always on time and Buddy can hardly wait until she gets to our house. I had to have shoulder surgery and couldn't walk Buddy so Rover was a perfect option for us. Thank you Frances for making Buddy's day so exciting he's so much more happier because of you.”
“Micheal was so patient and kind with our dog. He came over to meet her first, so she was comfortable. This gave me great peace of mind leaving her in his hands!!!”
About: I have had years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as fostering puppies from my local animal shelter. When I foster puppies, I work hard on potty training them, teaching basic commands, and socialization. I also raised my own husky who required special care, including diaper changes and medication. Therefore, I have no problem helping your dog with any specific needs they may have. Depending on your needs and wishes, I'd love to look after your pup and watch them run around an area you deem safe, whether that be your backyard or a dog park. I can also crate your pup after my visit or during the night if you wish. My schedule is pretty open! Please feel free to message me, and I’m happy to work something out! I love caring for animals and I want to make sure they are happy while their family are either away or if they need a companion for a short while :) I always want to make sure your pup is comfortable with me in their space. Typically, I like to make sure to do a meet and greet with you there before to make sure that they are comfortable with me and understand that I'm just there to let them out and give them lots of love! In addition, if you know the best way to help your pup decompress while you're gone, please let me know and I will do my best to follow your advice!
About: Hello! I am 19 years old and currently attend college. I have many years of pet care experience of various different animals since I was in elementary school. I enjoy hanging out and taking care of pets more than anything and I’d love to make sure your animals get genuine care that leaves them with the ability to live a long, happy, and healthy life! When I am home from college during spring break, summer, and winter break, my schedule is moderately flexible. I am able to fit in pet care whenever and have plenty of time to play with and take care of my cats and dogs every day. When I am at your home I will make sure it is a safe environment for the animals and that there is nothing they can be harmed by. I love going on walks at any time of the day as well as playing with the dogs or cats with toys, we can even work on some simple training together! Your pet will be safe, comfortable, happy, and healthy when they are in my care. :)
“Anna was so great with walking our dog, Cleo! She came over the day before to learn about Cleo’s routines & get a layout of the house and yard. Anna walked Cleo & played fetch with her in the yard. She also sent pictures :) we will definitely be using Anna in the future for our drop-in and walking needs!”
“Candace has been great to work with! She's very communicative, reliable, consistent, timely. Not to mention, she obviously cares very much about my Harvey and takes great care of him! She goes the extra mile to play with him and pet him, depending on his mood, and always cleans up if he's had an accident in the house before she arrives. Candace also takes very cute pictures of Harvey on their walks, which I always appreciate.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Affton
Devon is terrific! She has been walking my 3 goldens regularly for over a year and a half. My pups love her. She genuinely cares about their health and well being. She is honest and always quick to let me know if an issue arises with my dogs. I highly recommend!
Nicole is outstanding! She is sweet and kind to the dogs and always punctual. Belle came from a puppymill and is very leary of new people and new experiences. Nicole is calm and quiet natured which is exactly what Belle needs. Alexa is jolly but partially blind and also, needs consistency and gentle attention. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful person as Nicole.
We love Frances she is amazing she's always on time and Buddy can hardly wait until she gets to our house. I had to have shoulder surgery and couldn't walk Buddy so Rover was a perfect option for us. Thank you Frances for making Buddy's day so exciting he's so much more happier because of you.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Affton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
