“This is my 3rd time booking with Mariah! I feel very comfortable and can actually relax when out of town, knowing that my 3 dogs are in good hands with her and her boyfriend. This last visit I was thrilled to receive a photo of my dog chilling on a raft in their pool 😊. They truly are very professional and have a HUGE fenced yard with fun for all dogs. I can tell my babies had a good time because they always come back not only happy, but exhausted! Which really helps after a trip when all I wanna do is sleep too. Highly recommend!”
About: I've had 2 shih tzus (who recently both passed away at almost 16 years old), so I love small dogs (and any and all sweet pups!) I also have a calico cat, who is very sweet. Any pet who stays with us should be cat-tolerant, and also they should be OK with kids. I also have 2 kids (a 7 year old and toddler) who love animals. Please, no aggressive animals, as we do not have experience. House trained pets, please. I work from home, and I am almost always home, except for errands, to take my kids to extra circular classes. We are never out of the house for more than a few hours at a time. I have a fenced backyard, but there are steps to go down it. Pets can roam freely at the house. We can also crate your pet if they are more comfortable sleeping in the crate. But they are free to jump on couches, beds, and furniture. We have baby gates to keep pets out of unsafe areas.
“We always have a fantastic experience with Erica! She loves our pup well (he usually throws a full On revolt when we try to pick him up! He LOVES her!).🐾💕”
About: We’re a husband and wife duo who share a love for animals and their personalities. We strive to make every fur baby feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I, Mariah, grew up surrounded by cats, dogs, and all small critters in between. Nathan and I have our own Sphynx cat for the past 3 years and our dog for 11. We know firsthand that every fur baby has their own unique personality, needs, and quirks! Our dog and cat both require medication and extra attention. Our cat has a heart condition which has given us valuable experience administering medications and providing specialized care. We understand how important it is to have someone patient, attentive, and knowledgeable looking after your baby, especially if they need a little extra TLC. In addition to caring for our own babies, we’ve been doing house visits for both dogs and cats through Rover for around 4 years, and we absolutely love meeting every single one of our feline guests! Whether your baby is playful and adventurous, shy and cuddly, or happiest lounging in a cozy spot, we want them to feel right at home while you’re away. As a team, we work together to provide a loving, attentive environment where your animals individual needs and routines matter. We know pets are family, and we’ll treat your precious fur baby like one of our own! Mariah currently works full time outside the home while Nathan works a hybrid schedule but his work allows him to work from home when needed. Both have a flexible schedule that allows for care of pets at any time of the day. We just bought a new house that we have a leash setup for our dog since the yard is unfenced. If this is okay for your animal we can set them up this way as well but if not we are open to anything that would work better for them. We are big on safety in and out of the home. If the dogs for some reason do not get along they are able to be separated since our house is large enough to do so. Our neighborhood is incredibly dog friendly and safe. If we are coming to your home or we are welcoming them into ours, we will gladly follow any instructions left for us to ensure that the fur babies are comfortable and safe.
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.
“Wow! What a great experience. This was my first time using a service like this. I am so thankful I found this service and Karen. I immediately knew I made the right choice when I walked in. We were given a warm welcome by Karen, Squeak and Koda. Karen provided updates and sent photos. I am definitely going to be a repeat client.”
“I'm so grateful to have found Cynthia. They went above and beyond to take care of my dog and I couldn't be happier with the service they provided. She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and updates, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter - they're the best!”
“Asia was so sweet and professional. When we first arrived Asia and her fur baby Crypto welcome us. Asia made my lil boy (Biskit) feel so at home. I asked Asia to send me text, pictures, and videos, and she did just that. That really made my heart fill of joy to see pictures and videos of my lil boy(Biskit) and to know that he was well taken care of. We thank you so much Asia from the bottom of our hearts 💕 Sylvia and Antwon Dudley.”
“Very accommodating gentleman! Nice fenced back yard, easy to get to his home! I felt great leaving my dog with Davey! He even sent pictures of her playing, which calmed me down as this was her first sitter! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Evan and Kaleigh are amazing! I was delayed on the drop off day. They were so patient and encouraged me to take my time getting there. We received pictures and updates throughout the duration of our vacation and were playing with the dogs when I picked them up. My pups were so well taken care of that they barely greeted me, which I took as a great sign! Thank you Evan and Kaleigh for giving us the peace of mind during our vacation!”
“Our medium size spayed female was very comfortable with Lindsey's pets & pet guests for a 2-week stay. We would absolutely use Lindsey again, she'll be our first call.”
“Matt was wonderful, very responsive and very helpful while we were away! He took care of our little guy Auggie like he was his own! I couldn’t recommend Matt enough!!”
“Melinda was great with Sonny. She listened to me as I explained my dog's needs since he is an older dog. Despite not having a fence she explained how she keeps the dogs under her care safe. I would rebook with Melinda again.”
“Jordan is simply the best! Chloe and Gizmo have stayed with her 3 times now and just absolutely love going over there and playing with her and Marnie! We appreciate you Jordan!”
“Madeline took wonderful care of our boy! She was very professional and friendly, and we highly recommend her. Especially if you have a smaller dog than can be anxious in a new/strange environment. Hopefully she's not booked the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Ross took amazing care of our golden retriever while we were out of the country for two weeks. He sent daily updates and photos and I could tell she was so well loved and cared for! Definitely recommend Ross to take care of your pup.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Affton
Vicki and Dave were fantastic! We did a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put me at ease. During the weekend stay, Vicki was incredibly responsive and sent updates along with daily photos, which I truly appreciated. My pup had a great time running around their backyard with the other dogs and soaking up the sun. It’s clear they take wonderful care of the dogs in their home, and I would definitely book with them again!
My kitty was at Jennifer‘s home for three weeks while I traveled. Felix adapted very well to the four caretakers as well as the other kitties either living or being boarded in the home. I received regular updates via rover.com as well as WhatsApp. I will definitely use Jennifer and her team again without hesitation because of the exemplary care my Kat received.
Nicole & Tim did a 10/10 job taking care of Lemon for us. I received multiple updates every day and TONS of photos. I was never worried about Lemon in their care and was able to fully relax on my trip. We couldn’t be happier with how they took care of Lemon and will absolutely be using them again. They are wonderful!
Katie is such a reliable, proactive, and professional sitter. We always have complete peace of mind whenever we leave our dogs in her care. She takes such great care of them and makes sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Honestly, sometimes we worry our dogs don’t even want to come home because they’re having so much fun at Katie’s! We couldn’t recommend her enough.
This is our first time using Judy as our sitter and she was fantastic. She is very easy to work with and truly cares about the dogs she watches. We enjoyed our vacation knowing our little dachshund was given five star treatment. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
