About: I’ve been caring for cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for both cats and dogs for friends and family. While my background is stronger with cats, I’m comfortable handling the day-to-day needs of dogs as well, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I make it a priority to carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, medications, dietary restrictions, routines, or other special care needs. Because I work remotely, I’m also able to spend much more time at home with pets than many sitters can, which means more company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I currently work remotely on a typical Monday–Friday daytime schedule and am able to work from anywhere within the state, which means I can comfortably set up my work-from-home station while house and pet sitting. This allows me to be much more present and attentive throughout the day compared to sitters who may be away for long periods of time. My work is also fairly flexible, allowing me to adjust meetings and tasks as needed to help accommodate feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and other routine care. Weekends are typically very open for me as well, giving me even more flexibility and availability for your pets’ needs. I currently have two cats of my own: Draco, an 11-year-old part Manx, and Loki, a 6-year-old black American Shorthair. I’ve had both of them since they were kittens, and caring for them has given me years of hands-on experience with maintaining routines, monitoring health, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets. Draco previously needed some extra attention with his weight and diet, and through a consistent feeding routine and focused care, he was able to lose over 10 pounds and maintain a much healthier lifestyle. That experience reinforced for me how important consistency, patience, and closely following care instructions can be for pets. Loki is a rescue and can be a little shy at first, so I also understand the importance of giving pets time to adjust, respecting their comfort levels, and helping anxious pets feel safe and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Rachel helped us out with Maybel as she was adjusting to a new routine with our work schedules. Rachel is a repeat sitter with us! Great communication and Maybel is always well taken care of!”
“We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Nancy and Paul for our two cats! They kept us posted with great pictures during their drop-in visits, which made our vacation totally stress-free. We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Melanie did an wonderful job keeping in contact and updating me with how my cat is doing! She also took great care of my kitty and interacted with her on each visit to make her feel loved in my absence.”
“Evelyn went above and beyond when she watched my cats. From having to deal with my senior cat and her issues to taking care of a cat that she never saw, she even tried to engage her to come out of hiding. She always made sure they had what they needed. I couldn't have asked for better experience. For sure will have her back when I travel.”
“Nicki was absolutely wonderful and kept great communication throughout every check-in. She truly went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“We had such a great experience! She was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and was extremely helpful and accommodating from the beginning. Was really great with our pets! Will book again in the future.”
“She came everyday on time, I have great pictures of my cats every day I was gone. The cats seemed to love her. I am very happy I hired Tabitha to watch them while we were gone!!”
About: I’ve always grown up around animals whether they were cats, dogs, ducks, or chickens i was around it. I currently puppy sit for a 3 month old puppy on the daily and would love to help you out with your pets! I am currently in school to become an EMT at Jeffco. I have a weekend job at Canes and I've been saving to pay for my college. With such a high workload at school I figured dog walking would be an amazing low stress opportunity!! I am available to walk and check in on pets! I have walked and cared for animals old and young so i can keep up or slow down if needed.
About: Hi! I’m a St. Louis native with a lifelong passion for animals, and firmly believe that pets, especially dogs and cats, make the world a better place. Their loyalty, quirky personalities, and ability to bring joy to our everyday lives are just a few of the reasons I am so passionate about caring for them and helping other pet owners feel confident that their beloved companions are in good hands. 🐾 I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. While in college, I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I supervised playgroups, handled feeding and daily care, and made sure every pup felt safe, happy, and loved. Today, I share my home with two dogs, Arlo and Sadie, and two cats, Puddles and Bubba, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. As someone who loves to travel, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets while you're away. My top priorities are safety, comfort, and maintaining your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I also love sending updates and photos, and I'm always open to feedback because every pet deserves personalized care and attention. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, treats, or cuddles on the couch, I would be honored to care for them. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am available Monday-Thursday from 5am-7am, and 4pm-10pm. Friday-Sunday I am available almost any time. I currently offer walks and drop ins, but depending on your needs I am open to discussing boarding services as well! Each pet is different and requires specific care catered to them, and I am committed to doing everything I can to provide exactly what they need. I am happy to discuss and questions or concerns you might have!
“Katy did an amazing job with our boys and they were so happy. Seemless communication from the initial consultation visit thru the scheduled care visits. We definitely recommend Katy and will be utilizing her services going forward.”
“My dog waited at the window on the days Kathy was coming. Dottie LOVED Kathy. Dottie had way too much energy & Kathy played fetch until Dottie gave up. She is loving and dependable. Can't say enough good things about her!!!”
“Samantha was awesome!! She came to meet us and our boys before the actual dates. I felt like I had known her forever and that made me feel so much better about her checking in on our babies. We will definitely be reaching out again for the next time. Thanks so much!!!”
“Brittany was fantastic and went above and beyond! We were away for 3 weeks, which is the longest we’ve left our kitty, but we felt completely comfortable and at ease. She was even sweet enough to acknowledge my daughter’s big accomplishment with a gift. I won’t hesitate to book her again in the future!”
About: i’ve been taking care of friends, family, and neighbors fur babies for the past nine years of my life, and I absolutely love every single one of them. I love all of them all sizes and breeds it does not matter to me. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility for five years. I also have previous training experience working with young puppies so i’m able to work with them as well. :) I’m working currently part-time and only have classes a couple days a week for an hour. I’m very flexible and available on an as needed basis for you and your fur babies! Safety is my number one priority. I will never put your fur babies in harms way or put them in uncomfortable situations. I treat each pup as if they were my own. I’m very big on schedules/routine. If you have one you’d like to stick to, I will happily oblige.
About: I am a huge animal person and love to take care and play with your pets of any kind! I have been cat sitting and dog walking for years for family and neighbors, and have always been there for even a short pop-in visit. Working in my local animal shelter I specialized in both feline and canine care, and know everything about keeping your pet happy and healthy. I have two cats of my own that I treat like my babies and grew up with dogs all my life, and I hope I can treat your pets as good as my own! I am currently working part time with a varying schedule, but will typically have the same days off every week which will allow me to have a more consistent schedule when caring for your pet. I will always approach a new dog or cat with caution and assess their behavior before jumping right in, not only for my well-being but also theirs to avoid any extra stress.
About: I have owned a few dogs, and have watched over many more! I love dogs and am looking forward to meeting new dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am currently working a part time job that is flexible. I am willing to do all tasks assigned from walking to feeding to bathing. I am friendly but will be serious when needed to properly care for the dog. Your dog will always be the top priority. I will follow all instructions left by the owner, while also having fun your dog. I can take them on walks, to the park, and even swimming! I have a car to get whenever I need to be and I am always on time. While this will be an extra job for me I will be sure to treat it like my only job!
About: I'm a big fan of caring for animals, and I have lots of energy to provide your pet with all the attention they deserve. If your dog wants to walk, we'll get in a good walk, but if your dog wants to run, I'm also able to put in the miles so we both get some exercise. I don't have experience with training puppies, but I am happy to support any on-going training by following through with established protocols (specific feeding times or amounts, specific walk times, etc.). I have a flexible job that allows me to build my own schedule from week to week, so I have lots of time to care for pet needs. All pets will have their basic needs met plus more! I will attend to whatever is needed with love and care - feeding, walking, playing, snuggling, and cleaning up all the messes that can come with animals too.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arnold
Summer provided excellent communication, flexibility, and was very easy to work with! She was absolutely wonderful with my months-old puppy and was patient while we tried a few different crating/xpen arrangements (that were apparently not escape-proof!). She even lugged a HUGE package in off our porch for us, which was so kind and above and beyond! I highly recommend Summer!
Katy was a great dog sitter - it helped that I have known her for many years. She came for a meet and greet ahead of time for instructions etc. And Katy is a vet tech - what better person to leave with your dog for your dog's care- I was completely comfortable and confident about her abilities. Very friendly and professional.
Tara was such a blessing on this last trip. Communication was great as both dogs had issues. Tara has experience with pet medications that really is reassuring. Both dogs were great when we got home and very happy! I'm so glad she lives in our area too. We will be using Tara again when we go out of town. Thank-you Tara!
Absolute professionalism and top-notch care for our pets from Eric and Morgan! This lovely couple boarded our dog Rosie and made home visits to care for our cat and guinea pigs during our spring break vacation. They were very responsive to our messages and took care to learn all the instructions for feeding and care of our animals. We received photos and updates throughout the week. Morgan even watered my plant babies! We highly recommend Eric and Morgan and will definitely book them again.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Arnold stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
