“Eleanor was very responsible and our family felt like she was taking care of our dogs well. We got photos of them every day we were away. She was great about responding and getting in touch with any questions or concerns in a timely matter. We will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“We are so happy Callie was available for a drop-in visit with our 7 month puppy! When we first booked our appointment, she went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of the visit went smoothly. During the visit, she engaged with our puppy and supervised him closely, which made for a safe and a fun visit. Afterwards, she provided a detailed update, and our puppy was extra sleepy for the rest of the day. Thank you so much Callie! We know Graham appreciates it too! ❤️”
“Things fell through with my previous sitter (that wasn’t from Rover). I reached out to Kaity last minute, as I was scrambling to find someone to watch my chihuahua. She came within 1.5 hours of contacting her to do a meet and greet with Bailey since is weary of strangers from a traumatic past. She even moved around some her schedule to accommodate us. He was reserved at first, but quickly warmed up to Kaity. On day 2, he was already waiting at the door for her and greeting her with toys and kisses. I get cute pictures and a little summary of how their time together went. I would definitely recommend Kaity to anyone and I have her on weekly repeat visits. We are happy!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover and owner living in Maplewood, MO, with my friendly 5 yr old Aussie, Porter. While I'm newer to pet sitting on Rover, I've cared for dogs my whole life and have plenty of experience watching the pups of friends and family. Whether it's walks, playtime, or cuddles, in here to ensure your furry friend feels happy and cared for while you're away! I'm available on the weekends and work from home Mondays and Fridays, giving your pup plenty of attention, potty breaks and daily walks. I'm open to Tues-Thurs care as well, but the pup would have to be okay in a crate or out for 8 hours while I'm at work for the day. I have a fenced in yard for the pup to play, potty and get exercise in. I have a 5 year old aussie who is super friendly and would love the company of another dog! While I'll be home most of the time with your pup, when I step out of the house I'm happy to kennel them or leave them out, whatever makes you and the pup feel the most comfortable!
“Alena did a great job with my cat. He's usually skittish around new people and his reaction during meet and greet interviews usually decides who we go with. He made friends with Alena right off and she did a great job keeping me updated on how he was doing. Would definitely have her watch take care of Ernie in the future.”
“Sonja was a blessing for my 2 Huskies, Ciera and Athena!! She was patient when they had gotten into mischief in between visits!!! I felt she truly loved them and was so attentive when she was here!!! She gave me many pictures to enjoy which helped my anxiety about leaving them!! She truly appreciated the reality that they are my fur babies and I love them so much!!! If you have the opportunity to hire So ha for your pets, don’t hesitate!!!!❤️👍💪🐶”
“Since Buddie can’t talk, I will be glad to say for her. Katie has been reliable and kind to me all week while my mom is working. I smile for my pictures and I am so happy that she comes every day to visit.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. From Hogan the schnauzer, Misty the terrier mix to Ramsey the cocker spaniel - they were each special members of my family. As an adult, I had a schnoodle named Coco for 16 beautiful years. From puppy to senior, I did it all. I trained her, gave her nothing but love & comfort and cared for her before she passed (dog diapers, meds and all!). She was family. I’ll treat yours as family too. You’ll be able to count on me and the job will get done with lots of TLC and great communication. I am semi-retired from working in a public high school. I love giving back to my community. I thought this would be another way to do so. I realized since our dog passed away last fall, there is a void of not having a pet around. And since my time is flexible, working for Rover will check a lot of boxes! I will care for your pet and home with utmost care and safety. I will ensure doors are locked, things are left where they belong, and take extra precaution to keep the pet safe on walks or outside. I value cleanliness and being organized in the home and stick to schedules and routines.
“We are thrilled with Laura's drop in visits with Moby! With all the pictures, videos, and details about the visits, we were able to relax and know that Moby was happy, taken are of, and in the best hands. He is already looking forward to more drop ins with his new friend! THANK YOU!!!”
“Heather did such a good job taking care of our precious kitties while we were gone! Both of our shy kitties came out to see her, which is truly rare. Her pictures and comments about what happened during the visits really helped us know how they were doing and put smiles on our faces during a difficult time in our lives. ?”
“Samantha and Christopher were awesome! They took such good care of our 2 cats and sent us tons of pictures with a blurb for each visit telling us how they were doing. I would absolutely use them again!”
“Maddelyn is very punctual and is very attentive to my fur babies' needs when she does drop-in visits in my home. She goes above and beyond what is asked of her, and I highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I’m a full-time mom with a big heart for animals — and years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and medical needs. Whether you need help with daily walks, feedings, medication, or just some loving company for your furry friend while you're away, I provide dependable, compassionate care you can trust. I've raised both dogs and cats from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets with special needs, and I understand how important it is to have someone responsible and attentive looking after your beloved companions. ✨ Hard-working ✨ Trustworthy ✨ Flexible scheduling ✨ Experienced with medications and special care needs Let’s chat about how I can help you and your pet! As a full-time mom, my daily routine is built around care, attention, and responsibility — the same values I bring to pet care. I'm home throughout the day and evening, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet visits, feedings, medications, playtime, or just some quiet company whenever your pet needs it. My calm, structured home life allows me to give your pet consistent, loving care while still being available for early morning, mid-day, or nighttime visits. Pet care isn’t just a side job — it’s something that fits naturally into my life and brings me joy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your home and pets are in trustworthy hands. I follow your specific instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication routines, or just the little habits that make your pet feel comfortable and secure. Safety is always my top priority — I double-check doors and gates, clean up after pets properly, and keep an eye out for anything unusual in your pet’s behavior or environment. I’ll gladly send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away. My goal is to give your pet loving, consistent care and give you total peace of mind.
“Laura is a godsend! She always does a great job communicating with us while away from our Trinity. We really appreciate the extra pictures sent on her reports. I highly recommend Laura to love on your fur baby when the need arises.”

Affton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Samantha and Christopher were amazing! They sent plenty of pics and videos of my kitties and I knew they were well taken care of. I could tell our cat really bonded with them too. I felt so comfortable going out of town known that Samantha and Christopher were the ones taking care of our pets. They also watch my mom’s dogs and the dogs love them!! We will absolutely ask them to come back again when we go out of town next!
Basia is awesome!! She dropped in to walk our dogs for a couple of days, plus a couple of days full time care. She sent pictures and communication during those times. I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care! We will hire her again and highly recommend her!!
Heather was amazing with our dog Claude while we were out. She was attentive during the meet and greet and made sure to provide reassurance of our care instructions in her detailed, humorous visit updates! I would recommend her without hesitation for anyone wanting to ensure their pet is loved while away, making any vacation much more relaxing.
Lindsey is absolutely amazing!! I had a personal matter come up, and needed urgent and VERY last minute care for my 2 large dogs for nearly an entire month. I reached out to Lindsey in a pinch, and with nearly no notice, and she got back to me immediately! Not only was she considerate of my situation, she was so professional, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with when scheduling everything! (I had to make a MILLION changes to the schedule, and she was nothing but patient, flexible, and understanding through every change I made!) One of my dogs (I have 2 large dogs!) can be particularly reactive, and I’ve had such a hard time in the past finding someone that he will let get close to him and take care of him. When I came across Lindsey’s profile, I was so pleased to see that she has experience with challenging dogs! While I was still nervous how my reactive dog would be around her, Lindsey assured me of the steps she will take with the experience she has, to ensure the dogs feel comfortable, safe, and trusting around her. And Lindsey did not disappoint! Both of my dogs love her and seemed to warm up to her almost immediately! She always sends me the cutest updates of my pups, too, and is SO wonderful at communicating everything with me (I haven’t been home to see my dogs in almost a month, and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone other than Lindsey to be caring for my dogs during these past few weeks)! She has gone above and beyond, and I cannot recommend her enough! I trust her through and through to take good care of my dogs, and am so grateful for how much love and care she showed them while I’ve been away. If I ever need to book someone to care for my dogs again, I will ALWAYS book Lindsey when I have the chance! 🐶🐶
Michelle was awesome and kept me up to date with juju process and anything. She sent some many pictures, even the freeloaders..LOL. I will use her again and again. it was a comfort knowing that she was taking care of juju while I was gone and keeping her company
Lillian did a great job taking care of my cats. Some may think that caring for cats can't be that difficult, but I have had many problems over the years. This time I came home to no problems--everything was clean and cats were healthy and happy. And Lillian is so sweet. I felt very comfortable trusting her as soon as I met her.
Kendra was a fantastic sitter and my dog Martin gives her 4 paws and a tail up (equating to the 5 stars above--likely he just wants more belly rubs, but...) She showed up on time for all visits and snapped super cute photos of my pup while I was gone. Thank you Kendra!
I would highly recommend Emilyann! I booked last minute due to having to work a 16 hour shift and the dog sitter canceling. My dog Zoey was sick due to new a medication she was on and needed to monitored more throughout the day. Emilyann with no hesitation said she would stop by more frequently to check on Zoey and even went to the vet to pick up some medication to help Zoey get through the day! Like how awesome is that? She truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND! I would trust her to watch my dogs any day and you can tell she truly cares! Thank you so much for all the care you provided! ❤️
