“AJ was great with our dogs Gus and Macey. Macey was very apprehensive when we first left but AJ gave her space and was patient and she warmed up to her and her family after about 20 minutes. Gus and Macey seemed to enjoy their time with AJ.”

“Julie was a life saver! We were stood up by our original sitter, and she took Yuna in last minute. It felt reassuring to leave Yuna with her. Even though it was just for the afternoon, it seemed she got along with Julie's dogs and was exercised enough to have her sleep all throughout our road trip back home! Also kept us updated with pictures which was great.”

About: I’ve had animals all my life from seniors to littler of puppies. I’ve been to classes to teach and have taken care of multiple pets through hospice. I’ve raised a hand full of litters and pride myself on a loving and fun home for my animals! I can fit almost any Animal within my schedule and around my other small pup! We go on frequent walks and have play time throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where pets can safely play, exercise, and enjoy some outdoor time. I provide fresh water, supervision, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions.
“Isa was great for daycare for our puppy!! We were visiting St. Louis and she took great care of our puppy while we were exploring for the day. She was very responsive and sent updates throughout the day which we loved. We would absolutely recommend her and use her again when we are back in St. Louis!”

“TzuYu took great care of my dog! She gave very frequent updates & photos of my dog going on walks and playing with her and her dog. We already booked the next visit.”

About: My name is pronounced like Taya. I have been providing pet care personally and professionally since I was in high school. When I started, I genuinely just loved being around animals and wanted a way make an income while doing something I enjoyed. Years later and I still hold the same sentiment. My family and I have always welcomed dogs and cats into our homes and cared for them as additional kids in the household. I took a break from pet care to focus on building myself and my goals, but now as a homeowner of three years, I want to extend my home and services again to your fur babies. I work full-time, 100% remotely from home for a law firm located in Pennsylvania. I am always at home, especially during the weekdays, with my six pets (two dogs and four cats). I have a flexible schedule and can arrange my work day accordingly. I am able to work with you and your pet's needs, so just communicate with me! I have a 0.3 acre fenced yard that my two dogs absolutely love to race around in. They get great exercise out there and are able to release their high energy. I am attuned to my animal's needs and provide a lot of supervision and care since I am usually at home. The same way that I would treat my own pets/home is exactly how I would treat and respect yours. I am reliable, punctual, and compassionate.
About: I’ve been dealing with animals literally my whole life. I went to a technical school and I worked at a doggy daycare for 4yrs.Dogs are my passion/therapy. Im trying to save up enough to continue my education. I’m currently working as a part time dog groomer Mondays/Fridays, a little busier after holidays . I’m still available to do check ins every 2-4hrs for potty breaks on those days. My home is very spacious, plus I have a dog park within walking distance. I prefer dogs that’s kid friendly as I do have a toddler.
“Hallie took care of my doggo one day while it stormed really bad and there were tornado touchdowns close and she was great about keeping me up to date on how he was doing and that they were safe.”


“Summer was fantastic! She answered all of our questions and truly cared for Tika. She sent pictures and video throughout the day to keep us posted and even took her out for a walk in the park. Thank you, Summer!”


“Sarah was amazing with my baby Soup! She is super friendly and very responsive. She took care of Soup like her own and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend her! 😊”


About: Hi! My name is Darius and I truly love being around animals. I don't have any right now, but I've had pets almost my entire life including a yorkie, two pomeranians, three cocker spaniels, a foster kitten, and a German shepherd. I used to live with two adult cats, but my ex got them in the breakup sadly. Fortunately, I've got another friend with older cats that lets me check on them when she's away. More recently, I've been the go-to pet sitter for my friends because I have a big house with a fenced in yard and a lot of squirrels to yap at. Long story short, I just want your baby to feel loved and taken care of while they're away from home. I'll be with them most of the day because I typically work from home. As long as they don't mind chilling around the house, walking around my beautiful neighborhood, or chiming in on the occasional business call, we'll get along great. Like I mentioned, 99% of the time I work from home M-F. I might occasionally go into the office but only for a 2-4 hours max. Three days a week I go to the gym for an hour but for the most part I'll be working, chilling at the house, or outside exploring the neighborhood with my new furry friend. I like to curate a calm, peaceful environment that's full of love for your pet to feel relaxed and at ease during their stay.
About: I’m absolutely obsessed with animals and have been caring for pets for 17 years! Over the years, I’ve cared for countless dogs in their own homes, welcomed pups into my home while their families were away, and worked with rescue organizations and foster dogs from time to time. I currently have one senior pup of my own, Bentley, an 11-year-old Whippet/Lab mix. He absolutely loves having doggy guests and is happiest when he has a friend around! I do have a part-time job that takes me away from home for approximately 1-3 hours at a time during the week. When boarding dogs, my fiance works a different shift, as well as my sister being available, we between them can provide additional check-ins when needed. I’m always upfront about my schedule so you know exactly what to expect. 🐶 Safety First Your pet’s safety is my absolute top priority. I’m a bit of a worrier when it comes to the animals in my care, which means I’m constantly keeping an eye on everyone! Dogs in my care are never left unattended together, whether they’re inside or outside, and all dogs are separated during meals. At night, friendly dogs are welcome to have free rein of the house..and if they end up sleeping on the bed surrounded by a pile of dogs, I certainly won’t complain! ❤️ I have a 42” metal kennel and mat available if your dog prefers or requires crate time, although it rarely gets used. I also have pet first-aid kits at home and in my car and am comfortable handling minor cuts, scrapes, and other basic pet-care situations. I have also personally administered insulin injections to a diabetic dog belonging to my best friend. 🏡 A Home Full of Dog Supplies I absolutely spoil my pets, so I’m well equipped for furry guests! We have multiple dog beds, food and water dishes, food risers, toys, treats, and plenty of tennis balls. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines. The one exception is bones/long-lasting chews when multiple dogs are together. Bentley can become protective of them, so those are simply put away during group time. Safety first! ❤️ Rescue & Foster Experience I’ve also worked with rescues and occasionally foster dogs. If I have a foster or additional dog in my home during your pet’s stay, I will always let you know ahead of time. Any foster dogs staying in my home are required to be appropriately vaccinated, dog-friendly, and a good fit for a multi-dog environment. 📸 Communication I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, so I make communication a priority. I send daily photos and updates and stay in contact throughout your pet’s stay. If I’m away from the house, I’ll keep you informed about my schedule as well. My goal is for you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing that your pets are safe, loved, and being treated like part of the family. 🐕 Meet Bentley! Bentley is my 11-year-old Whippet/Lab mix and resident senior gentleman. He’s an attention seeker who will probably decide you’re there specifically to throw a tennis ball for him rather than meet me and introduce yourself! 😂 He still enjoys playing, but these days he mostly prefers fetch, attention, and occasionally being chased around the yard. He is also a jumper, so consider yourself warned—wearing something nice or white when we meet may be a risky decision! 😉 Bentley has spent years around other dogs and loves having company. He’s very much the welcoming committee of our household. 🩺 Vaccinations & Preventatives For the safety of every animal in my care, all pets must be current on vaccinations and appropriate flea, tick, heartworm, and other parasite preventatives. We take walks and visit different areas, so keeping everyone protected against fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, worms, and other preventable illnesses is extremely important. Please note that while I take extensive precautions to maintain a clean and safe environment, I cannot be held responsible for viruses, parasites, or illnesses that an animal may contract despite appropriate preventative measures. Lots of walking, mind game stimulations, and more! We wake up around 6:00 for our first morning potty break. We eat at about 7am until 7:45. Some dogs prefer to go out promptly after for another break. At 9am we take our first walk. Noon-3 is nap time. 3:30 another 1-3mile walk. 5pm dinner. After dinner is another break outside. 7pm another shorter walk. Bedtime is around 9pm. All pets will go outside to have one last break. I take every safety precaution I can to make sure everyone is safe, especially during feedings. With the use of gates and rooms, everyone is separated until finished.

“We left our pup under Michael's care and we are very happy. He was professional and organized. He also sent me pics and videos of our pup playing with his furry friends. We appreciate his attention to detail, he is always ready when we arrive.”
“Alex was great to watch my pup lux for the day! Lux is usually shy at first but wasn’t with Alex. Lux seemed well taken care of and had a fun day! Would use Alex again in the future to care for lux!”


About: I've spent much of my life living with and caring for dogs--from growing up with dogs throughout childhood, to helping care for dogs as an adult, to having Spencer, my most recent dog. I don't currently have pets of my own, which means visiting dogs get my full attention and don't have to adjust to unfamiliar resident animals. I genuinely miss having a dog around! I work from home and love the idea of giving someone's dog a cozy, low-stress place to stay while their humans are away. I intentionally accept dogs from only one household at a time, so I'm able to get to know their routine, personality, and quirks and make sure they get lots of individual attention. I have a dog door that suits a large dog and a fenced-in backyard in beautiful Southwest Garden, across from The Hill. I'm comfortable following detailed feeding and medication instructions and am happy to care for senior dogs. I'm currently focusing on friendly, reliably housetrained adult small and medium dogs that I can comfortably handle on leash. I prefer a meet-and-greet before a first stay so that both the dog and I can ensure we're comfortable together. And I love sending photos and updates! Getting pictures of Spencer when I traveled always made me happy, so I'm delighted to do the same for you. I work from home Monday through Friday from 9am-6pm, so I’m home much of the day and can easily fit walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, and plenty of attention into my routine. I live on a quiet, tree-lined street with sidewalks and no through traffic, just ten houses from Sublette Park. I love walking the perimeter of the park, so dogs who enjoy walks will have plenty of opportunities to get out and "sniff the puppy newspaper." I’m happy to take dogs for several walks a day depending on their normal routine and energy level. I do leave the house for errands and activities, so dogs should be comfortable relaxing at home alone for a few hours at a time. I have a quiet, dog-friendly home with no resident pets, and I only host dogs from one household at a time. I have a large, fully fenced privacy backyard for supervised play and potty breaks, plus a dog door that can be closed and locked when needed. Dogs are welcome to relax on my large couch, which is always covered with waterproof pet blankets. At night, dogs can sleep in their own crate in my downstairs den, on the couch, or--if they’re well behaved without a crate--on a dog bed in my bedroom. I don’t provide a crate, so owners should bring one if their dog needs it. I prefer to meet new dogs before their first stay so I can learn their routine and make sure I can handle them comfortably and safely. I’m currently best suited for friendly, reliably housetrained adult dogs who aren’t strong pullers, destructive chewers, or determined escape artists.
About: I’ve always loved dogs, whether they were mine or those of friends. I’ve had dogs for many years, and they have been my best buddies! I adopted Stanley last September from Have a Heart Rescue. Stanley is very playful and loves to play with other dogs. He is only 17 pounds and full of energy and loads of love. He enjoys “walking” other dogs if he can get ahold of their leashes and loves to do zoomies in the yard and play tag with other dogs. As he is a small pup, I would prefer to only watch dogs up to 40 pounds and must be socialized with other dogs and people. As I am retired now, I would love to start dog sitting in my home and would be open to doggy daycare. I am rarely away from the house for more than two hours at a time. I have a fully fenced in yard with plenty of room to play. Dogs have always been allowed on the chairs, sofas and on the bed. Who wants to sleep on the floor? I have been unofficially dog sitting for almost 40 years, and have recently started dog sitting for pay. I believe it is a good idea for the dogs and owners to have a meet-and-greet as it’s a great way to make sure we’re all a good fit and gives us the opportunity to meet and talk about our expectations. As a dog owner, I know how difficult it can be to be away from your little buddies, so I’m here to make that separation as easy as possible. When your pup stays with me, I’m always happy to send photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away rest assured that your pup is happy and healthy, and to see just how much fun we’re having. I would be happy to provide references upon request and discuss pricing and any questions you may have by phone or direct messaging. I live in the Maplewood area and I’m looking forward to hearing from you and seeing if my home is the right fit for your beloved pup. I am retired, and I have all the time needed to take care of your dog. I am home most days and I'm generally only gone for a few hours at a time. I have a fenced yard and a playful dog who will be happy to keep your dog company while you are away. They will be treated as my own.
About: I have always loved dogs. My husband and I adopted a beagle 5 years ago and we have just loved every minute of it. We go on daily walks, have plenty of toys and dog puzzles. I currently work from home and will have plenty of time to monitor and play with your dogs. My Beagle Tommy is also dog friendly. We go outside frequently and supervise outside playtime. I have a friendly beagle who loves to play hard and nap hard too. We allow dogs on the furniture and work from home. We do not crate dogs even when leaving the home.
“Sarah is a great sitter! We initially booked her for boarding and added on day care so our puppy had a chance to get to know Sarah and her son before our trip. She is very flexible and communicative. We have our boarding scheduled soon and will continue to use Sarah in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Berkeley
I was in town for work and needed someone to watch my Italian greyhound puppy for a few days. Since it was last minute everyone was booked and I reached out to Lauren who was unavailable but told me to reach out to Quia. I’m so glad I did! She was such a blessing to me and my puppy. She has such a way with dogs that my puppy has been so happy and content at the end of the day like she just had such a full day of adventure and love. She was very responsive and sent me pictures and videos as it was my first time leaving my puppy ever! And she helped her socialize with her other dog she watches weekly and in three days she’s helped my puppy be more confident around other dogs. I’m so happy and will recommend any one in saint louis to book with Quia, you will be happy and have peace of mind that your dog is well taken care of.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 707 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Berkeley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Berkeley commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 707 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MO. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
