“Caroline is so sweet with my dog Ellie, you can tell she really loves animals. She’s communicative and easy to schedule with, highly recommend for dog walking!”


“Niah has been a wonderful part of Princeton Antonio’s daily routine, and he gets extra excited whenever she arrives! She’s energetic, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. One of the things I appreciate most is how she always sends me sweet photos of Princeton that I can share with my mother in Chicago (who, by the way, adores her St. Louis-based grand-dog). Rain or shine, Niah shows up every evening without fail. Her dependability and connection with Princeton have been incredibly helpful while I've been recovering from a broken ankle. She has my highest recommendation to anyone who needs a dog walker or pet sitter.”


“Lara is great - she handles my large dog with ease - he can be leash reactive and that requires expertise. And she is consistent and timely and reliable. What else could you ask for?”


“Tammy has been doing daily weekday walks with my dog about about two months now and does a fantastic job. She treats my dog with love and care and is very reliable. In rare cases when a scheduling conflict came up, she let me know well in advance so I could plan for it. I couldn’t ask for a better person to walk my dog.”


“Did a great job caring for my pup! Gave her long walks, updated well, showed up on time, and hassle free with instructions for building access and care for my pup.”


“I came across ugur when I injured my foot and needed someone to walk my pup. Kobi loves going on walks with him and I enjoy all the updates & rover cards that let me know how the walks went. Kobi always looks so happy 😇 Most recently we booked him for boarding, it was very last minute but Ugur was super flexible. Kobi and Kiwi got along great! He sent me frequent updates and that made me feel at ease because I haven’t had good experiences in the past. I highly recommend Ugur to anyone 😇”


“10/10 stars. We love having Jamie over for our dog. We couldn’t give a better rating. From the beginning he made it clear that our dogs safety and comfort was his main priority. We are glad we have him for Adele. Thanks Jamie.”


About: I am a volunteer dog walker at a local shelter so I have lots of experience with walking and handling all sorts of dogs. I have a 14 year old Husky mix and 6 year old Alaskan Husky. The older guy has slowed down and needs some more tender loving care these days, so I definitely have some special needs/senior experience. The 6 year old girl is very active and gets around 4 miles of walks each day. Seeing the joy on their faces when asked if they want to go for a walk melts my heart. I don't have cats, but I TNR'd four feral cats in the neighborhood and feed and interact with them every morning. In the past, I've also cared for friends' cats when they went out of town - feeding, cleaning litter box, etc. I have a remote sales job which allows me to be very flexible. I volunteer every Friday morning from 8AM-11AM which is the only time I'm not available on a weekly basis. When walking my own dogs (and the shelter dogs for that matter), I'm very cognizant of broken glass on the sidewalks, discarded food and trash, and any other obstacles that tend to come up in the city. I know every dog is different and make sure to follow directions given when walking your pup.

“Jessica was amazing!!! So flexible with plans and sweet to my boy Sumo. Very trustworthy and reliable, would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for help with their pup!”


About: I've had my own pets since 1991. I had a rabbit and dog in college and have learned over the decades how to best care for our friends. I've just retired from a busy career, so I know how important it is to find someone to care for your animals when you're away; even if it's just the gym or happy hour after work. I've fostered for several area rescues and know folks have a different idea of appropriate care. I only use fear free methods, because our animals need to know they can trust us. I've had young high energy dogs who need play and long walks and I've cared for my dogs in their last years when they needed additional care or special medical needs including pills, dressings, eye drops and carrying older dogs who aren't as mobile anymore. I would love to get to know your pets and help you give them the best life. I'm currently retired and searching for part time employment. I don't mind early or late night visits since our dogs don't have a 9 to 5 schedule. I do have an active social and volunteering schedule but it's flexible enough to accommodate your needs. I have cared for many dogs who need to be crated or who are door dashers and escape artists. I have a calm energy that helps put pets at ease. I'm a fan of high value treats to make the crate a special place. My personal dogs are crate trained but I know that's not for everyone.

About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my whole. I have a calm and sensitive approach with dogs and am able to read their verbal and non verbal body language well, I am currently working full time schedule as a social worker in the community mental health field so I am mobile during the day but my schedule is flexible and I do my own scheduling, I have the ability to leave for break during day if needed. I have full availability after 3:30pm as well as on the weekends Establishing trust by letting the dog warm up and feel comfortable with me. Making sure to read the dog and when the dog wants to play/interact, when the dog wants space. I have a good ability to read when dogs have other needs that need to be met.

About: Hey there! I’m a dog person who’s been volunteering at a local shelter and caring for pets in my family for years. I love giving dogs plenty of walks, play time, and all the love they deserve—because to me, they’re family too! I've also loved caring for cats and small dogs with additional age-related and behavioral needs! Pet care is a natural part of my schedule, as I work part-time and have flexible availability most days. I enjoy incorporating dog walks, house-sitting, and drop-in visits into my routine, ensuring pets receive consistent attention, companionship, and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines, including feeding, fresh water, exercise, and any special instructions. For dogs, I provide safe, engaging walks; for cats, I ensure clean litter boxes and enrichment. I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being while keeping owners updated.

“Makenzie was great to my babies. She followed instructions with what my babies needed and went above and beyond in taking care of them. She even gave them cuddles and played! Thank you so much Makenzie. Highly recommend. 5+”

Central West End dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jamie is fantastic. I have a Dalmatian who does not like strangers and he came for a meet and greet and was really patient and knew exactly how to handle and react to her behavior. They were best pals in no time. I use him for 5x a week walks and he always sends pictures and notes about their trip. Very responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend.
