1. Izzy Y.

“Izzy was the best pet sitter ever. I felt at ease when I was away while she was taking care of my pups. She communicated and updated me about my pups per night with lots of photos! I came home to happy dogs! I definitely recommend her as being your pet sitter as well! I cannot wait for her to take care of my pups for my future trips!”


2. Alex F.
“Alex and Christina were very sweet. They sent lots of updates and spent a lotttt of time with our separation-anxiety cat while we were away for the week, and she seemed perfectly content when we returned home! We were glad to have them to help us!”


3. Tori W.

“Tori did a wonderful job taking care of our fur-kid, Franklin, and our home while we were gone. She was great about sending photos and reaching out to me if she had any questions. Franklin completely took to her and was as normal as could be when we got home after a week away. (He's 8 mos old and this was his first experience being left with a sitter.) It was wonderful to return home to a tidy house AND a happy cat. I would recommend Tori to anyone who needs a thoughtful, conscientious house & pet sitter!”


4. Sarah C.

“Sarah was an incredible sitter! She was more than accommodating with my frazzled self when it seemed like nothing was going as planned. She sent so many pictures and my girls loved her. I will definitely be booking with her in the future 😊”


5. Lauren S.

“Lauren was so great with our stubborn bull dog. She is excellent with communication and provided regular updates while we were gone which was so helpful. We knew our pup was in great hands with her. We would definitely recommend her!”


6. Cynthia C.

“Cynthia was great! We really appreciated the care and love she showed our animals. She sent tons of lovely pictures and updates on their days together. I didn’t have to worry at all while we were gone which is a huge plus. She was also very clean and considerate of our house. Will definitely book her again.”


7. Dylan R.

“It's never easy when you have to leave your dogs for an extended period of time, especially on really short notice. There couldn't have been a better person to watch our two dogs than Dylan. He kept us up to date with pictures and information. The dogs were very well taken care of. The house was in ever better condition than when we left it as well! I have another (planned) trip coming in a few months and will definitely be using Dylan again! Thank you so much for taking great care of my two big dogs!”


8. Sara S.

“When our normal dog watcher was unavailable, Sara stepped in and made my wife and I extremely comfortable to trust her with our two dogs on short notice. Even with the short notice, she came out to meet our boys and answered all of our questions regarding our request for house sitting. Sara was so considerate of our two dogs while house sitting. She made sure to send plenty of photos and was very respectful of our home. We plan on using Sara for any future needs to watch our dogs.”


9. Taylor H.

“Great experience! Our pups were happy and well cared for while we were away. We received daily pictures of what they were up to as well. Will definitely recommend Taylor!”




10. Heather C.


“Heather is great! I’ve been a Rover sitter for years but had never actually used the service myself before. Luckily when I reached out to Heather through the app a couple of weeks before I left for Christmas she was still available. When my return flight was canceled she was very accommodating and agreed to stay an extra night. I know Dewey was in excellent hands! She kept me updated on his antics and was super responsive whenever I reached out. Highly recommend!”


11. Corinne N.

“Corrine was awesome! She house sat with my pup and took excellent care of him. I would highly recommend booking her as I will surely do so myself in the future.”


12. Tea W.

“Tea took great care of my fur-babies for 11 days and nights!!! My dog seemed quite content, happy, and healthy upon my return. Additionally, she took great care of my home. I was able to come back from my vacation with no messes or untidy spaces. I appreciated the updates and would love more videos/photos when Tea's back for future visits!”


13. Alexandra M.

“Alex cared for my girls as if they were her own! She communicated how they were and sent updates of my girls. 10/10 recommend and will be using her for in the future.”


14. Jordan S.

“Jordan recently babysat my pets in the apartment. When we returned, they were healthy and happy. During the visit, he was communicative and kept me posted about anything that seemed out of the ordinary (oddly colored puppy poop and a kitty who didn’t feel ready to come meet him when he first showed up and a kitty pooping incident in the tub). He sent a few pics during the trip and was respectful of our apartment. Would book with him again!”


15. Kate M.

“Kate was awesome! Super communicative and spent a lot of quality time with our pups. She also sends lots of photos and videos which we loved— we would love to have her again!”


16. Erin D.
“Erin is an incredible pet sitter! They started taking care of our dog Cleo about a month after we adopted her, and we are still using them to take care of her 4 years later! We always have nothing but trust knowing that our dog is in their care, and they give us lots of updates and pictures. They truly go above and beyond, and Cleo is so excited to see them every time they are here.”


17. Leah L.

“Leah did a fine job taking care of my pets while I was away for two weeks. They had a great time playing together and were in good spirits when I returned.”


18. Katlyn P.

“Katlyn was amazing with my dogs! I felt so comfortable with her there! She treated my puppers like her own and showed them so much love and care! You was great at sending me photos and updated!!! I will 100% be rebooking her!”


19. Linda M.
About: I grew up with dogs all my life-big and small. I love all animals and have had many different animals including snakes, tarantula, birds, cats other reptiles and of course dogs throughout my life. My friends have told me that I should work with animals because of my knowledge, how I teach and take care of animals. Friends come to me for advice about their animals. Not only do I love and respect animals I genuinely love and respect nature and the world. I'm retired so I have time for my animals and your animal babies too. Most of my time is spent with my grandsons and Anakin; my dog, outside doing yardwork or in one of many parks in St Louis. I walk my dog in my yard on leash or walk to the park down the street from my house, weather permitting. I can walk your dog the same way or come to your house to take care of your animal baby. I'm retired/disabled and have one dog to take care of at the moment. I'm at home most of the time so I have time and love for other people's pets too. The only other thing that keeps me busy are my 3 youngest grandsons who also love animals and I teach them to respect and to be kind to animals. *If you need a service but see in my calendar I'm not available you can message me because most of the days I'm not available is usually only for 3 to 4 hours during that day and I could possibly be available for what you need* I have one bird and I keep his cage clean, change his water regularly and make sure he has food. I have one dog at home that I take out on leash in my front yard, walk him as many days a week as possible to the park directly down the street from my house, I rub his belly, give him treats when he's a good boy and play with him with his toys. All the stuff I do for my animals, I would do for your animals as well.




20. Molly E.

“Molly is simply the best! We will continue to book her as she is available. She sends wonderful photos and videos during her stay, and when we return, we can always tell the girls have had a blast and lots of lovin'!”
