“This was our first time using Rover for our 8 year old lab. We read so many reviews that were positive for Misty and decided she was the perfect fit for our sweet Willow. Misty watched our baby for 9 days while we were out of the country. She sent photos and our girl came home as happy and content as could be. She has not done well being boarded in the past so this was a wonderful stay for her and a huge relief for us. We recommend Misty and her family 100%. She has a huge back yard and she and her family are animal lovers so you can be at peace that your fur baby will be well loved and happy. We will definitely book again with Misty in the future!”

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.

“Elisabeth was great! She took great care of Elsie, sending pictures and keeping us informed. Elsie clearly fit right in with the other dogs in the house. My only complaint is that she seems like she misses the company!”

“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.”

“Awesome person and very caring with animals. She sent me pictures and videos during my dog's stay and gave her treats when she wasn't eating. I already have another stay booked with her.”

“Lorri always takes such great care of Albus. He clearly loves staying with her too! She is great at sending updates and pictures and we always feel comfortable when traveling knowing he’s in good hands.”

“Dawn was great! We receive updates and pics while we were gone and our dog was happy and healthy! Dawn cares a lot about dogs and was great with our rescue - would definitely recommend!”

“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!”

“It’s hard to leave your fur baby with a total stranger but after the meet and greet I could tell Kathryn and family are truly “dog people.” The pics and feedback we received made it easier for us to enjoy our trip! Highly recommended!”

“Omg I can’t say enough. Alicia was awesome and my husband said after we meet that he knew she would love our little Diego. He looked so happy and gained a new family. Thanks so much Alicia for the wonderful pictures and updates.”

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.
“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.”

“Mika and her family were great with Rambeau. He looked happy and content. We enjoyed Rambeau's daily pictures and short video updates while we were out of town. And I hope to use them again. :-)”

“Carly and her family were the best sitters for Coco we could have asked for! Coco had so much fun she almost didn’t want to come home! We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures. We will definitely be booking with Carly again!”

“We used her twice within a month for our mini bernedoodle! Bear was excited to go back the second time and ran inside. He was tired when he got home, a sure sign he had a good time.”

“We did a trial weekend with Beth, just a little sleepover for both of our pups. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and has a lot of anxiety when put in new situations. Beth kept me updated with pictures and messages about how she was improving and making strides at being around them! Beth and her family are just the best. She will be our go to sitter for both our pups 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.
