“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 ❤️❤️”
About: I’ve had cats all my life and currently own two of my own cats. Many of my friends have larger dogs, and have relied on me to help check on them while they are out of town and take them for walks and have play dates. I love all kinds of dogs and cats! I am currently working from home on Mondays and Fridays, but that will change to working from home on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday in the next couple of weeks. My nights are mostly free and am able to be flexible with my schedule. I will make sure your pet is comfortable, well fed and hydrated, and give them the playtime and snuggles they need! I make sure litter boxes and yards are clean and clean up any accidents that may happen.
“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 amazing with our dogs. We can’t say enough good things about him. He was very accommodating and both our dogs were mad at us when we had to leave. I would highly recommend James and we will definitely use his services again when we are back in the area.”
“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.”
“Jennifer was great caring for our energetic one year old. She walked her and also took care of all her needs as she is still training a bit. Our house was well taken care of like we never left. Thanks Jen!”
“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.”
“We had an amazing experience with Jenna! She was communicative throughout the stay, sending updates that really put us at ease. The dogs seemed happy, relaxed and well-loved! It is clear Jenna loves dogs and took care of ours like they were her own! She also house-sat for us and left everything spotless. We came home to a vacuumed, clean house and couldn’t have been happier. We’re so grateful for the care she showed our pups and our home. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Mason was wonderful! He came over for a pre-meet and was very polite and was happy to do what we asked. BUT he went above and beyond walking the dogs, playing bubbles. Great communicator. Sent pics and videos. Had a small emergency and he handled it beautifully! So happy we found him!!!!”
“Niara, Took very good care of mine and my sister’s dog’s. She would send updated pictures a couple times a day. Let them out so much and gave them a lot of love. I didn’t feel they were lonely or in danger at all. Highly recommend. 5 Stars.”
“Brianna was great with both of dogs! I got daily updates and pics that made me feel so comfortable being away from the dogs. She also took great care of the house. We will for sure be using her again!”
“Sheldon was wonderful with our little dog. She was able to accept a last minute request and stay beyond the scheduled time when our event ran over. I would absolutely request her again! We are more than pleased and our doggie loved her!!”
“Katie did an amazing job taking care of our dog and two cats during our 12 day trip out of the country on a family vacation. We were so nervous about leaving them, especially after our previous sitter wasn’t available. But Katie was so sweet, responsible, and loving to them while we were gone. She was incredibly responsive and sent us a lot of pictures which really put us at ease, knowing they were in good hands with Katie! We are SO happy we found her and will definitely use her services again. ❤️”
About: I have been taking training, looking after, and loving pets for as long as I can remember. My grandmother, a liscenced trainer, has taught me everything I know from puppy care, crate training, leash training, to medication administration and food aggression. I have also had a lot of experience with rescues and more skiddish dogs. I have cared for dogs ranging from the ages of 3 weeks old to 15 years old. I live in a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with a fenced backyard. I recently moved from Washington state back to Missouri with my fiancé and I’ve also had a new baby girl so I have a lot of free time on my hands currently. I am available on all weekdays and on all weekends. Everyday I would take my dog out for a quick walk before I left for work, at that time she also gets an apple, refill on water and her morning vitamins/treats with breakfast. When I get home I let her go potty then we go over routine training, with many treats of course, then to the dog park. On occasion we stop to get a pup cup and coffee on the way home. She then has dinner and her nighttime vitamins, I brush her teeth an it’s bedtime. For my 2 cats we have breakfast at 9am. wet and dry food with vitamins then we change the litter. We have treats throughout the day then dinner, wet and dry food with vitamins, at 8pm.
“Marsha took amazing care of my dog for an entire week, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. From the moment she arrived at my home, I felt completely comfortable knowing my pup was in good hands. Marsha provided frequent updates and pictures, which I truly appreciated—it allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. It’s clear that Marsha genuinely loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. I returned to find my dog happy, healthy, and well-loved. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Marsha again in the future. Thank you, Marsha, for doing such an incredible job!”
Cahokia pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bri was so easy to work with! She was communicative, reliable, and our pets absolutely adored her. We were able to enjoy our vacation because we felt so comfortable with her taking care of things for us. Our pets have never been less stressed out while we were away; they were immediately comfortable with her which says a lot (small neurotic dog and finicky cat). We're so thrilled to have found her.
Haley was absolutely incredible!! She stayed in our home to care for our two dogs and transient cat while we were on vacation. She was extremely communicative, caring, proactive in her approach, trustworthy, and super easy to talk to. She went above and beyond, especially when our flights were delayed and we needed an extra night of care last minute. We are fairly anxious pet parents, but she calmed our nerves immediately. We highly recommend and love Haley!!
Emily was the perfect person for my dog Butters when I went on a trip! This was my first time having someone staying at my house and it was great for my senior dog to be in a comfortable environment. She was super friendly and kind. She sent updates on their cuddle sessions, cute pics, took him for a pup cup and you can tell she really loves dogs! Also she left everything exactly how I left and was very communicative. Highly recommend Emily! Would absolutely love to have her watch my dog on my next trip away.
James was amazing with our dogs. We can’t say enough good things about him. He was very accommodating and both our dogs were mad at us when we had to leave. I would highly recommend James and we will definitely use his services again when we are back in the area.
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!
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!
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.
