“I hired Stephen to take care of my cat for about 22 days. He has been exceptional in performing all the requested tasks. Litter was in great shape, she had food n fresh water in her bowls. Above all, after such a long period of my absence she seemed to have reasonable level of stress n anxiety. All the credit goes to Stephen, he made sure to alleviate her anxiety by spending quality time with her whenever he visited. He has been professional in communicating everything that needed attention n uploaded enough pictures each day. I will definitely hire him again.”
“Caroline watched my dog for the first time and took such great care of her! She is a senior dog and Caroline makes sure to give her the attention she needs always. Thank you for all the pictures you send!”
“Nimbus absolutely loves Ugar and he’s been a treasure to have while in ST Louis. Next time I’m out this way and need some friendly dog assistance I know who to call. Thank you again for everything!”
“William is awesome! 10/10 recommend. We met prior to the booking to ensure a good fit for all parties. He is communicative, seems to care about my baby, and spent the time to take her on good walks as well as valuable playtime. I looked forward to pictures of Maple along with William’s description of the visit after each one! He had mentioned having a girlfriend in town during our meet & greet, so when he asked if she could join for one of the visits I was thrilled! More love for my girl. And I know had I told him I wasn’t comfortable with that he would have respected my choice, too.”
“Brennan did such an amazing job taking care of my dog Rusty this weekend! This was my first time ever leaving him at home when I have gone out of town, as I’ve always boarded him at a kennel in the past, and it has always been really overwhelming and hard for him. I’m so glad that this time, I decided to instead do a series of Rover drop-in visits, and I could not have asked for a better person than Brennan for the job! She fed him, gave him his medication, walked him, played with him and in general, just gave him all the care and attention he craves. And through it all, she gave me great updates about everything that was going on with him, so I never had to worry about a thing. She’s the best!”
“Danielle is truly the best! This is our first time using Rover so not only did she take great care of our Great Dane while we were away, she also eased our worries and concerns and educated us about the app and its services! We will definitely use it again! Every day she sent great updates along with a ton of photos and even threw in a walk which we greatly appreciated. My husband and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Lawrence was great with my pets and super communicative with me while I was out of town, appreciated all of the photos he sent and the time he took to get to know my kiddos!”
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life — dogs of all ages, guinea pigs, fish, and more. I truly enjoy giving animals love, attention, and fun! With no evening classes this semester, I have plenty of flexibility in the mornings. Walking dogs fits perfectly into my routine, and I enjoy starting the day active and outdoors. 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.
“Maria is amazing! She took plenty of pictures and kept detailed updates so I felt comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands. She followed all directions and was incredibly diligent during our meeting to make sure everything was clear.”
About: I am known as the go-to pet sitter for all of my friends and family! I have worked with everything from tiny 4 week old puppies to senior pets who need assistance walking and require multiple medications. I am comfortable with giant dogs and I have experience with fearful/aggressive animals. I’m an avid hiker and love to stay active, usually with my dogs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a very flexible schedule so I am available to walk or care for your pet at your convenience! I have a reliable car and don’t mind driving! I have a yard with a secure, 6 foot privacy fence and live in a very walkable neighborhood with three parks near my home. If your pet is more comfortable staying home I am available to take care of them there! I’m a fast learner and I’m eager to learn your pet’s routine!
“She was communicative and went above and beyond for my two kitties :) she was the first person I hired on here, so I’m really happy that my first experience went so well! What a relief that there are hard working people who also care about pets in STL!”
About: I’m trying to save up money for vet school, and would love to give your pets the love and attention they deserve while at it! Growing up, I was the main caretaker and trainer for our two family dogs. As a teenager, I had a monopoly on neighborhood pet sitting. Now, I don’t have any dogs or cats of my own (part of why I’m eager to dote on yours). I’ve loved meeting so many new furry friends across St. Louis :) Ive also done volunteer work handling wild animals such as hawks, squirrels, and possums! I’m currently working part time, so I have a decent amount of availability with enough notice! My work schedule can be flexible as well, so I’m happy to work something out with you if we have conflicts 👍 I’m no stranger to cleaning up pet messes. If any accidents happen, I will be sure to leave the spot squeaky clean! I’ve also lived in the neighborhood for 3 years so I know the area well. I’m excited to take your pet on a fun and safe walk, or just give them a comforting lil visit at home.
“Kathleen was perfect!! My cat who usually is shy and terrified of strangers loved her. I really appreciate the flexibility when our travel plans changed, and and even offered then helped change out our litter! I would absolutely ask her to come again.”
“Brooke was wonderful! I had to find a new pet sitter at the last minute because my super-senior cat got put on some new medication for the first time and my previous sitter didn’t have any experience with pilling a cat. Brooke jumped right in and never hesitated. Since my girl had recently been really sick I was really, really nervous to leave her for a weekend but Brooke was so reassuring and took such good care of her that it made me relax. I will 100% use Brooke any time I travel moving forward!!”

She is extremely responsible and doesn't mind our special requests, ie: certain foods at certain times, exercise at certain times, play times, etc. She is an absolute dream come true!”

Botanical Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Caroline was amazing with Hudson. She was able to accommodate my last minute request and she did so without any angst. I came home a bit early on my last day and Hudson was more than happy running out the door to greet Caroline. Truly I appreciate all the care she gave Hudson.
Hailey watched my five cats for 4 days while I was out of town and she was absolutely incredible. She sent daily updates, kept the feeding schedule precise, and even played cat games to keep them engaged and happy. What amazed me most was how she won over my shyest kitty, Luci, coaxing her out from under the couch for pets. I can’t recommend her highly enough and can’t wait to book her services again!
Olivia was an excellent sitter for our anxious pup, Tuck. She provided frequent updates and pics and I felt that she respected our home and animals. Tuck gave her 4 paws up (as did the kitties who surprisingly came to interact with her). We will definitely rebook with her again.
We love Laura and our cat, Cleo, does too! We were away for 9 days, and Cleo seemed super happy and healthy with Laura! She cared about Cleo as if she were her own cat, and I am glad we booked her! We will definitely rebook her next time we are away. We also love all the photos and rover cards she sent! Laura is super thoughtful too, and she seems very experienced with hosting and handling cats.
I can confirm that Ellen is a certified cat lady. Ellen took the time to meet us and the cats and learn more about them during our meet and greet. She made sure to provide us with updates and photos. I am very happy Ellen was available to watch after our cats. I definitely enjoyed our holiday more knowing that our cats are safe and well cared for by her. Thank you again, Ellen!
Lauren was great! She took great care of our kitty (Persey) and was flexible and super to work with! Our cat is highly anxious and xenophobic, yet she interacted with Lauren on the first night. We highly recommend her and will definitely book her to care for Persey when we take trips in the future! 😊
William is awesome! 10/10 recommend. We met prior to the booking to ensure a good fit for all parties. He is communicative, seems to care about my baby, and spent the time to take her on good walks as well as valuable playtime. I looked forward to pictures of Maple along with William’s description of the visit after each one! He had mentioned having a girlfriend in town during our meet & greet, so when he asked if she could join for one of the visits I was thrilled! More love for my girl. And I know had I told him I wasn’t comfortable with that he would have respected my choice, too.
