“Misty is great with our 2 Golden Retrievers. Her large fenced yard gives them plenty of room to play and enjoy the outdoors. They are very happy to go and happy when I pick them up if its for a day or several days.”

“Jinx had a great time boarding with Dawn and her pets.Dawn kept us up-to-date on Jinx adventures around the house or out & about hiking with pics.Dawn also kept track of Jinx medications and let me know when she ran out so I can find backups! Very pleased we found Dawn and will most certainly come back!”

“I hesitate to leave this review only because I want to keep Lorri for myself! She was so good with our dog! Winnie is blind and due to this has separation anxiety when we leave her and a little generalized anxiety in new situations. Within a day, Lorri had her wearing a cute little sweater to keep warm on walls (which Winnie refuses to wear for me), had her cuddling on the couch and even took her for walks in a store! I know Winnie was comfortable with her because she was clearly relaxed in the many photos and videos we got while we were away. Lorri is the best!”

“Many thanks to Erica for her good work. She even dropped my dog off at our regular dog sitter. Erica provided coverage while our regular sitter who was out of town. I had to have surgery during this time and Erica really made things go smoothly.”

About: I love dogs with all my heart. I am a new dog owner, but I am no stranger to dog care as I took care of my friends dog for a night and on other occasions. I have around 9 months of experience of taking care of my puppy. I have trained him in some of the basic commands and sometimes I love to make doggy treats for him. I am a recent graduate of highschool and will be home for most of the time. I will be able to take care of your dog anytime required. I have a temporary fence setup in my backyard along with a spacious basement. I have an extra bed if required for your pet along with extra blankets. If you would want your pet to be in a specific area of the house, there are extra fences that can be used. I will be able to monitor your dogs routine and needs. I will pay attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any other needs you put in. I will make sure to give regular updates through photos or calls.
About: I’ve watched dogs for several of my friends and family in the past and have decided to take my care pet scratches to others in need. I’m currently a personal trainer. So I’ll have afternoons to come home and let the pups out. And I’m there for several hours at a time. I like to walk so they will get exercise in. I have a fenced in back yard. So the dogs will have plenty of space to run and play. They have a pond to drink from.
“Copper had a great time at Carly and Doug's house. We received updates with photos, and he looked like he was having so much fun with new friends. We really appreciated the homey enviornment they provided - it made us feel at ease leaving our pup! Thank you Carly and Doug!”

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my Charlie. The frequent updates, photos, and videos helped so much to put my mind at ease. I’m so grateful for all you did to go above and beyond over a holiday weekend.”

“I felt great about leaving my dogs with Kathryn! Caramel and Samson had a fabulous time. Kathryn was super considerate about giving our family updates/pics, and she couldn’t have been nicer.”

“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.”
“Christine & Fred once again treated our Sydney like she was their own pup. They even handled her finicky eating by hand feeding her kibble! We know Sydney is in great hands and that makes taking vacation more enjoyable. Thank you for the excellent care!”

“Jennine and Berry are incredibly responsible and caring sitters. Our dog Cookie stayed with them for 9 days while my husband and I were out of town, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care they provided. Jennine sent us photos every day, carefully read and followed all our instructions, and kept in close communication with us. Cookie can be quite picky with his food, but Jennine was patient and managed to get him to eat every day. We highly recommend them and will definitely have Cookie stay with them again.”

“Uno was in great hands! All the updates with pictures and videos were comforting to know he was okay while we were out of town. No issues and he even met a new friend :) Thanks again!”

“Amy was a wonderful sitter! I knew from the moment we had our meet and greet that Winston was going to be in good hands! For six nights, our dog was in a lovely home and was well cared for. Amy took him on regular walks and sent pictures to show us how happy and at home he was! I highly recommend Amy and plan to use her services in the future!”

Ballwin dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover and Erica impressed me so much. We got a daily check in with photos and videos. Since my pup doesn’t really get along with children or other dogs, I was so nervous about how he would do but Erica made me feel at ease by doing a meet and greet before our booking. I would absolutely rebook with Erica in a heartbeat.

Kathryn and her family did a great job caring for my dog Murphy. We had an initial meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit for the dogs and they sent lots of updates and photos so I could feel confident Murphy was being well taken care of. Murphy had a great time and I would definitely recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Kari is just the best! She always takes such great care of Winnie, and it’s so evident in how excited Winnie gets when we drop her off. She always looks so comfortable and happy in all of the pictures Kari sends, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. It’s always such a great feeling knowing Winnie is in the best hands!!

Blanca is the absolute best!!! She took amazing care of my dog Oscar. I loved all the pictures, videos, and updates she sent me during his stay. The communication was great and she was very flexible with the drop off and pick up times. I will definitely be using her again in the future.
