“She was absolutely fantastic. Had her watch our pup for 8 days straight at our house. She gave us tons of updates and pictures and asked questions when needed. Thank god Emily is so patient because our dog gave her a really hard time. Also our house was clean when we got home! Will use her again for sure if she isn’t booked up.”


“Jennifer was a fun, attentive, affectionate and responsible caregiver for my 7 month old kitten. She played with her a lot, fed her and cleaned out her litter regularly, and sent me lots of pictures and messages updating me on my kitten’s days. She also went above and beyond on cleaning my house and laundering the linens before I got home. Totally unnecessary, but very much appreciated. I would highly recommend her services.”

“We hired Meghan to watch our pets in our home. She was a respectful guest and took wonderful care of our pets! She went above and beyond working with us to reschedule our travel plans due to inclement weather. She provided excellent communication, with lots of updates and pictures of how our pets were doing. We would recommend her to anyone and would love to work with her again. Thanks Meghan!”

“James was great with our pointers. He sent pics and updates while we were out. The dogs were happy to see us upon returning, but clearly had been comfortable and relaxed in our absence. We will book again if in the area. Thanks James!”
“Kelsey was amazing watching Riley while I was out of town. She’s so attentive to details and sent me regular updates and pics. Riley had a blast with her, and I highly recommend Kelsey!”

“Zach was amazing with Acacia, she’s super timid and he was very patient with her. I loved receiving photos and updates from him, and he really eased my mind while I was away from Acacia. I hope to work with Zach more in the future! 10/10 service. He also left the house exactly as we asked!”

“Greatly appreciate Rebekah, she did a great job watching my home and kitty. She is professional, thorough, and kind. So grateful to have Rebekah fill in for me! Thank you Rebekah!”

“We have used Nicki multiple times for house sitting while away and she is always so wonderful!! She is so communicative and takes such great care of our dog. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been trusted as a caregiver for dogs of all sizes & needs since I was a little girl. I grew up with multiple dogs in the home and as an adult I have raised both Rottweilers and Pitbulls of my own, as well as fostered several dogs with behavioral issues that have since been adopted. I have studied a lot on how to manage dogs with behavioral issues and my friends and family often bring their dogs to stay with me just so I can help train them. I promise to provide a stable and safe environment where your dog will thrive & you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work mostly from home so my schedule is flexible and I’ll be able to accommodate what your dog needs. My pit bull has been spoiled with visits to parks and hiking almost every day for the last 4 years since adopting him & I treat every dog in my care as my own. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly pitbull that loves to run & play. It’s a pretty decent sized yard, and I also live in close proximity to the Katy trail which makes it easy to take them on walks as well. My dog doesn’t stay in a cage, so he will be there to keep yours company anytime I’m away, but I will accommodate your dogs needs however is necessary as well.
About: Hello! We are Libby and Arghya ("Argo"). We both work from home and love having dogs with us. We have several years of pet care experience for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. We were pet parents to three dogs who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge now: two Dachshunds and one Pitbull. Our pitbull was dog-reactive, so we are very comfortable with dogs who may have unique behavior needs. All of our dogs lived well into their senior years, so we have a soft spot for senior dogs especially. In addition to boarding at our house, we are open to pet sitting in your home if our schedule allows. We work from home full time and can easily incorporate walks into our schedule. Our work schedules are flexible and outside potty breaks can be as often as needed. We have a yard that is completely fenced-in with a 6-foot privacy fence. Our whole home is dog friendly, complete with dog beds in just about every room.
“Emily was great. She was able to help me out last minute for the holidays and everything went amazing. She updated me frequently with photos. Came home to happy pups! I would and will definitely use her again.”

“Laura did an amazing job! She’s so attentive and thoughtful and my dogs love her! I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is knowledgeable and genuinely caring. Book Laura! You pets will thank you.”

“Julia was amazing! We had her house sit and watch our two dogs! She was great at communicating and sending pupdates! They seemed have and content when we got home! Would highly recommend her!”

“Taylor followed all of our instructions perfectly and sent great photos of our dogs! We came home to our apartment looking the exact same as when we left. Would absolutely recommend and/or use again!”

“Niara is awesome. ! She offered us a meet and greet before we booked the stay and she showed up early and was very knowledgeable about dog temperament - one of our dogs Sky is a rescue and not good with all dogs. She sent us daily photos and videos of the pups and we felt very comfortable and confident that they were in good hands. It was very apparent that the pups and her had a great time together! Niara would definitely be our first choice for dog sitting for the next time we are out of town!”

“We were a little nervous to leave our 5 month old puppy for the first time, but Ally took great care of her! We appreciated the pictures and updates Ally sent throughout the weekend!”

“Jayde was amazing. She helped us last minute when our normal sitter wasn’t available. She gave both our boys the cuddles, scritches, love and attention they need while we were away. Thank you so much Jayde! We appreciate you!”

“Phoebe is so sweet and kind, extremely respectful and communicative. She house sat and watched my dog and cat for about a week. She provided absolutely adorable updates, suggested and was open to a prior meeting, and followed some pretty precise and specific instructions for care. I’m so grateful Phoebe not only was able to care for my animals, but showed them love, cuddles and eased my pup’s major anxiety. Plus, I live in an apartment so it’s not easy during feeding time so I am grateful Phoebe was able to navigate that as well. Thank you Phoebe, hope you can watch these two knuckleheads again!! ❤️”

Cahokia pet parents share their Rover experiences
What an excellent experience! Gaby was fantastic! She sent us text messages and photos every day with updates on how our pups were doing. She also was taking them on walks every day (when it wasn't raining...and sadly it was a pretty rainy week) and took pictures of them out on their adventures! Our house was well taken care of and she was very easy to communicate with during the stay. If she had any questions, she sent messages and was very thankful for the information. Will gladly have Gaby stay with our pack again!

Autumn was amazing with all 4 of our babies! She offered a meet and greet, and the 2 dogs fell in love with her instantly. We got daily pictures of walks and fun times in the house. Our home looks even cleaner than how we left it. We so appreciated her communication and will definitely book again.

Brianna has taken care of our home and cat several times, most recently for almost a month. She is wonderful to work with-efficient, smart, reliable, courteous, and loves my cat! It's great to come home to a happy cat and a tidy home. She sends updates and pictures and handles communications with neighbors or others responsibly and without drama. Brianna is our go-to for taking care of Franklin.

Mel took great care of our pets while we were out of town. She was always on time, communicative, and sent lots of photos which we appreciated. She even offered to do a meet and great ahead of booking and really read up on all of our pets needs and complex medication schedules. She has experience with rats which is a huge plus and was so sweet with them. Highly recommend!

I went out of town for a couple of days and Emily stayed at my place watching my dog Leo. She was so responsive and caring. She also sent daily updates and pictures. Emily was so sweet with Leo I will definitely have who come watch him again she I’m out of town ❤️❤️

Liz was so sweet with Nestle and Polly. She paid special attention to each of their specific needs to be sure they were as comfortable as could be while we traveled. Not to mention as comfortable as I could be🥰 Communication was great. I have no hesitation to recommend Liz and will certainly call her again when we travel.
Reka is not only incredibly professional, but so observant and my pets absolutely loved her! She always sent pictures and videos, and always reached out if there was a problem with anything! Highly highly recommend to hire her for any pet services, but especially overnight!

We were thrilled with the care Madison provided for our 6-month-old Maltipoo, Gracie. Madison arrived on time to be met with an energetic welcome from Gracie, welcomed our instructions and gave us confidence from the first moment that she would take good care of Gracie during our evening out. She sent pictures of Gracie who clearly was enjoying her time with Madison. When we arrived back home, she was in no rush to leave and spent a few more minutes with us and Gracie in a new friendship. We would love to have her back.
