“Kyani treated my dog as if she were her own fur baby! My pet was VERY well cared for, and I got detailed updates and pictures for each visit. Definitely planning to book with Kyani again if she’s available!”

“Jenn is amazing! We recently moved to St. Louis and Jenn hopped right in to helping us out with our dog. Jenn is so thorough with pictures and updates. In the past we’ve had dog walkers that don’t actually give our dog a walk and instead do just a pee break but Jenn makes sure our dog gets outside and moves! Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Hope is amazing! She’s prompt, responsive, follows care instructions carefully, does extra things like bringing in mail (so thoughtful), and seems to truly care about my senior pup. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for pets my whole life! Dogs of all ages, guinea pigs, fish, and more. I truly enjoy giving animals love, attention, and fun! It is especially fulfilling to care for your pets while being away from mine while at school. With no evening classes this semester, I have plenty of flexibility in the mornings and afternoons. I am excited to use that time caring for your fur babies! I give dogs freedom to sniff, stroll, and play at their pace—always sticking to their routine and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.
“Meghan was absolutely wonderful with our high energy mini schnauzer Oli! They even ran together and Oli had the happiest face in her card picture. Oli also looked very well cared for when we got back home. Meghan was careful to wipe Oli’s muddy paws, refresh her water bowl, and spoil her with a couple treats. Her updates were detailed, yet concise. We loved having Meghan as Oli’s new friend and would recommend her to our family and friends. :)”

About: I’m a lifelong dog person — there’s never been a time in my life without one! These days, my chocolate lab is enjoying his well-earned retirement (walks are officially off his agenda), which means I have all this love and energy to give. I would absolutely love to be your dog’s favorite part of the day! I currently work full time, as a hybrid employee so I’m working for home at least two days for home with a flexible schedule. That gives me plenty of time to walk your dog or check in on them. For drop in visits and dog walking, I would follow your request for your dogs needs. At this time, I am not doing overnight stays
“Alexa is super fast to respond and very caring with my puppy! She always makes sure that he is comfortable and happy when she takes him on his walks, and she takes the best pictures of him to keep me up to date.”

“Ugur did a great job! He handled the job well, followed instructions perfectly, and sent adorable photos. He also gave good updates and was on time. The pups were in great hands. I would recommend and use again!”

“Annamaria has been great! Charlie seems to really like her, and she’s been able to get him out of the house every visit so far - he can sometimes be a bit stubborn and refuse to get up lol. I’m very happy with the service so far, and definitely plan to continue having her work with Charlie.”


About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is the level of care, attentiveness, and protection I provide to every dog as if they were my own. I have experience working with young puppies who need patience, structure, and consistency with basic training and routines, as well as senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication management, and close monitoring. Safety is always my top priority I am highly observant on walks, mindful of surroundings, and proactive in preventing any potential risks. I understand canine body language, which helps me anticipate needs and avoid stressful situations. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behaviors, sticking to a detailed feeding schedule, or providing calm companionship for anxious pets, I create a secure and loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and protected. Owners can trust that their pets are not only cared for, but truly looked after with responsibility, awareness, and genuine affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially as an incoming medical student with a flexible study schedule. While my classes are structured, I have built-in breaks throughout the day that allow me to step away, reset, and give pets the attention they need. Studying also provides flexibility, since I can organize my time around walks, feeding schedules, play sessions, and check-ins. I value balance and know how important movement and fresh air are, so taking a dog out for a walk or spending time engaging with them fits seamlessly into my day. When I’m studying, pets stay in a safe, calm environment where they can relax comfortably nearby. Being in a rigorous academic program has strengthened my time management skills, responsibility, and attentiveness — qualities that directly translate into providing reliable, consistent, and safe care for every dog I look after. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm, and secure environment with constant supervision, scheduled walks, and plenty of attention. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and rest to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all provided instructions, respect the space, and keep pets on their normal schedule to ensure stability. I’m attentive to behavior changes, mindful of surroundings on walks, and proactive about preventing any safety risks, so owners can feel confident their pets are protected and well cared for.
“Jamie was freaking awesome. Communication was sweet and responsive and my pup was exceptionally well taken care of, even with medications and geriatric needs.”

About: I have 14 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have cats of my own and previously had dogs, so I understand the unique needs, energy levels, and personalities of both. I offer dependable dog walks while you’re at work and attentive, loving care when you’re out of town. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and routine are my priority, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I work from home and make my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and consistent with pet care. Because of that, I’m able to fit walks, drop-ins, and extended visits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’ve also worked remotely from clients’ homes in the past, so if your pet needs extra attention while you’re out of town, I can spend extended time there while still handling my work responsibilities. This flexibility allows me to prioritize your pet’s routine, exercise, and comfort without feeling rushed. At this time, I do not bring pets into my own home. All care is provided in my client’s home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your specific instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any household routines. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their environment clean and secure. My goal is to minimize stress and make your time away as smooth as possible for both you and your pet.
About: In my house growing up there were many different cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, gerbils, and even a tortoise. I also have experience taking care of chickens and pigs. I love pets and I have been missing mine since I moved to St. Louis in August. I work every weekday from 10-645 so I am free after that. My weekends are open. I am totally free on most Saturdays and Sundays. I will make sure that I have all the information I need before I start watching a pet. The client's contact, neighbors contacts, any additional necessary phone numbers, etc. I will make sure I know all I can about the pet before I am left with them.

About: I'm a Rolla native and a current college student at Saint Louis University. I love running and long walks, so if you have a high-energy pup who needs a good run I'm the walker for you! I grew up on a small farm, and because of that I've had a lot of experience with various medical needs, and I know how to give medications orally. I've potty trained and raised several dogs and cats, and I have developed the patience of a saint because of it. I look forward to working with you and your furry family members!
About: I have a 5 year old 100lb staffordshire terrier named Kaido that I raised and trained since he was 6 weeks old. I crate trained, house trained, recall trained, socialized, and lead trained him myself. I have also Kaido to help work with other dogs that are not well socialized or have anxiety issues. I am currently working two part time jobs as a research coordinator so I am typically able to be flexible with whatever schedule is requested. While my apartment does not have a fenced yard, I do have a large dog crate if needed and have knowledge of many dog parks and trails in the St Louis area.
Botanical Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
My city issued a boil order while I was on vacation. I was worried about getting non contaminated water for my dog and let Kyani know what was going on. Kyani responded to me so soon and got fresh water for my pup since I had no spare water bottles to use while the tap water was undrinkable. Kyani is my go-to dog sitter and I always feel so lucky when she is available to watch my pup. I could not recommend her enough! We love her!!

Hayley has been the primary dog walker for 7+ months. She’s reliable, flexible and my puppy absolutely loves her. As an added bonus, I could never have taken pictures of my puppy the way she did. She captured my puppy growing up from a few months old to almost a year old. I will cherish them for years to come. She is simply an all around great person.

Tatianna was an amazing help walking my dog. She met with us beforehand to introduce herself and clarify how she best care for my dog. She sent a picture after each walk and ensured my dog had enough food and water before leaving. I highly recommend her to everyone in the area that needs their dog walked!

Emily was such a godsend during my pup’s final days. I had an 11 year old tripod pittie named Brody who had trouble walking. Emily would spend whatever time was left after these short walks to sit with Brody and shower him with love and attention. I’d recommend Emily to anyone looking for a kind, patient and trustworthy dog walker

Hope was so great with Roku! She went on a couple of walks with him and sent regular updates. Roku felt extremely comfortable with her and was incredibly excited to see her again. Thank you Hope! After just a couple walks I know they bonded really well, would definitely book again!

Ben’s great! I know my girls are always gonna get a good walk with Ben. He’s walked our two pups regularly for the last few months and always been very prompt. We’ve got one older dog that can be reactive with other dogs while on leash but Ben’s really good with her, I trust him 100%!

Elizabeth provided our family complete peace of mind when we were unable to give Tux his normal daily walks. We felt very comfortable knowing that she has experience with her own aging doggie with particular preferences. Elizabeth was able to get Tux into his harness for the walk and reward him his daily supplement treat. She always made sure he had fresh water and food before leaving. When we’re in need, we will be reaching out to Elizabeth again.

Meghan was absolutely wonderful with our high energy mini schnauzer Oli! They even ran together and Oli had the happiest face in her card picture. Oli also looked very well cared for when we got back home. Meghan was careful to wipe Oli’s muddy paws, refresh her water bowl, and spoil her with a couple treats. Her updates were detailed, yet concise. We loved having Meghan as Oli’s new friend and would recommend her to our family and friends. :)
