“Shelley was great with our dog. We’ve only had him for a short time but he’s had a 2 year journey prior to us and is very timid and shy. She did great with him, making him comfortable, and he enjoyed playing with her dogs. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing he was in great hands!”
“Gabrielle took great care of our dog, Foxy. We received updates and pictures throughout the weekend. With the beautiful weather, Foxy got to go on a long walk and to the Vet's Home. We will definitely be utilizing Gabrielle's service again.”
“Alexis is a kind and wonderful dog sitter. She kept our girl Maggie and we knew she was in good hands! I highly recommend her to take care of your puppy!! We are so glad we found her!”
About: Hi, I’m Gabby! I started pet sitting in 2019 and quickly realized that caring for animals was more than just a job—it became my passion. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for countless pets, and I still love every moment of it! I’m the proud dog mom of three and have been surrounded by animals my whole life. Growing up on a farm gave me hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to livestock. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, and top-quality care. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy daycare. Whether your pet needs a cozy place to stay, a mid-day walk, or care in the comfort of your home, I ensure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I also have experience working with pets of all temperaments, including shy or anxious animals. I love building long-term relationships with clients and their pets. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced, and passionate pet sitter, I’d love to help! Feel free to message me with any questions—I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐾 Pet care is my full-time passion! I’ve been caring for pets since 2019 and have built my schedule around providing top-notch care. I’m available 7 days a week for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I ensure each pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care! Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment with ample space for pets to feel relaxed and at ease. I ensure the area is pet-proofed, keeping hazardous items out of reach. For house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect, following any specific care instructions you provide. I take extra care with introductions to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, caring atmosphere for pets to enjoy their time away from you.
About: Hi there! I’m Collin, and I’d be honored to care for your furry companion(s) and hopefully earn the title of their second best friend.

Your pets will always be treated like they are my own! I am very flexible, and would love to discuss how I can help with your pet care needs. My girlfriend and I are both pet-sitters, and there will almost always be one of us at home with your buddy! Your pet’s health and happiness are always our top priority! We keep a close eye on our furry friends. Rest assured that you will receive plenty of photos and updates while in my care! Reach out today, and I’d be thrilled to schedule a meet and greet before your booking. Thank you for considering me!
“I was so nervous to leave my baby girl, Ginger, with a stranger for a week. However, Jacob was great. His dog was so friendly and he and Ginger got along wonderfully. I got updates and pictures. Jacob always returned my messages when I was feeling worried or guilty. When we picked Ginger up, she was excited to get back home, but I could tell she missed Jacob and R. too. I hope I don't need a dog care provider in the future, but if I do, I will be messaging Jacob.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alexandria home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Alexandria.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Alexandria sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
